Summary

In winter nature stages some of its most enchantingly beautiful displays; yet it's also a period for reflection, melancholy even, as the solstice marks the chill, dark days of dormancy. Taking in December to February, Jim Crumley tells the story of how unfolding winter affects the wildlife of his beloved land - from the windswept Western Isles and the unforgiving Cairngorm plateau to the gentler, graceful landscapes of Loch Lomond and Stirling. Along the way, Jim experiences the frigid snows of the uplands, the quiet solitude of nature's rest period, and his own love of nature; thus painting an intimate - and deeply personal - portrait of a moody and majestic British winter.
