Annie Worsley

Windswept

A few years ago, Annie traded a busy life in academia to take on a croft on the west coast of Scotland.
Hear about what it means to live in this rugged, awe-inspiring place of unquenchable spirit and wild weather, a land ruled by great elemental forces – light, wind and water – that hold sway over how land forms, where the sea sits, and what grows.

In her book Windswept, Annie evokes a place where nature reigns supreme and humans must learn to adapt.

“Windswept is a wonderful work, prose painted in bold, bright strokes like a
Scottish Colourist’s canvas.” Robert MacFarlane

“An instant classic of British naturewriting.” Sunday Telegraph
