Description

The Bone Cave: A Highland Journey Through Myth and Memory by Dougie Strang This book is about stories - old tales of people and place, and of the more-than-human world. It follows a series of folktales and myths to the places in which they're set, exploring the connections between story, culture, land ownership, and ecological stewardship. Travelling mostly on foot, Dougie Strang encounters a depth of meaning in these tales that offers a unique perspective on place and his own entanglement with it. His journey takes him through some of Scotland's most beautiful and rugged landscapes, where the sounds of nature - including the bellowing of stags during the red deer rut - become an integral part of the narrative. A longlisted title for the Highland Book Prize, The Bone Cave is a thought-provoking account of one man's journey into the heart of Scotland's mythic landscape.
