Scotland has long been seen as the ultimate road trip, a campervanning Shang Ri La offering the opportunity to camp wild and live free under the stars. For many this will take them on the North Coast 500, over the sea to Skye and into the Trossachs. Or maybe even following Martin's ‘slow road’ routes. But there is more, much more to Scotland than these, at times overcrowded, hotspots. Scotland has Britain’s most remote beach, pub, shop and railway station. It has 900 islands, Britain’s tallest peak, stone circles that predate Stonehenge by 2000 years, a remote set of uninhabited islands 165km from the mainland and a loch - not Loch Ness - that’s over 300 metres deep and that has, some say, its own monster. 
 
 This book is the next, natural step in Martin's wanderings around Scotland. If Take The Slow Road whetted the appetite for a Scottish adventure, this book will be the main course, filling you up with inspiring writing and beautiful imagery from the most remote and extreme corners of Scotland. It will take you to the very edges of the map, on a series of personal journeys to uncover parts of Scotland the masses never reach but wish they could. Along the way there are fantastic adventures to be had: watching killer whales in Orkney, exploring the ruins in St Kilda, aurora chasing in Galloway, kayaking to the uninhabited islands of the Inner Hebrides and soaking up the dark skies on Coll.
 
 In discovering these wild and beautiful places this fabulous book shows the reader that, with a little imagination, and some effort, they too can get off the beaten track in their own country.
