Description
Fergus Pryng's life was forever changed when he was sent to survey Lanna, the remotest Scottish island. There, he made a discovery that would have had far-reaching consequences if it had been revealed. Instead, Fergus chose to keep his secret hidden for 17 years, sacrificing his career and personal happiness in the process. The reasons behind Fergus's decision are complex and multifaceted, but they ultimately revolve around his deep love for the natural world. As the threat of deep-sea oil development loomed closer, Fergus was forced to confront the consequences of his secrecy. This extraordinary story raises important questions about our relationship with the Earth and the human cost of keeping secrets. Fergus The Silent is a powerful exploration of the tragic nature of humanity's impact on the environment.
