Unearth a tapestry of wonders: from secluded shores and crystalline coves to diminutive isles; from awe-inspiring sea stacks and mysterious caves to dramatic cliffs; from cascading waterfalls and tranquil lochs to invigorating river swims.

This captivating compendium invites you to uncover Scotland's hidden treasures: scale mystical peaks, explore veiled glens with shimmering lochs and concealed waterfalls perfect for a summer dip. Wander through lost castles, observe seabird colonies on precipitous cliffs, or meander through flower-strewn dunes to pristine white-sand beaches caressed by turquoise waters. Pitch your tent amidst heather-clad moorlands punctuated by ancient Scots pines, then seek solace in snug inns boasting roaring fires and the warmest of welcomes.
Featuring breathtaking photography and engaging prose, this indispensable guide is the key to unlocking Scotland's awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife. It's the ultimate companion for those yearning for an unbridled adventure in the heart of untamed Scotland.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
