Wild Galloway : from the hilltops to the Solway, a portrait of a glen
Carter, Ian2024
Books
'Wild Galloway' is a portrait of a singular patch of ground and an introduction to the wildlife of Galloway more broadly. The glen supports a little of each of Galloway's main habitats - there are the high tops of Bengairn and Screel surrounded by moorland and bog, a hideout for the handful of red grouse that cling to these hills. Ancient ash and hazel woods flank the lower pastures, and a burn with its otters and brown trout rushes through them towards the sea. 'Wild Galloway' reflects the author's reflections on the importance of wild places, based on a lifetime of experience as a naturalist and conservationist.
