James Crawford
Wild History: Journeys into Lost Scotland

Acclaimed author and presenter of BBC One’s Scotland from the Sky, James Crawford talks about his book, Wild History: Journeys into Lost Scotland.

James reveals places all over Scotland which have merged with the landscape and are being reclaimed by nature. Places where you scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.

“...an absolutely riveting journey through time and space.” The Scotsman
