Description

The Hidden Fires: A Cairngorms Journey with Nan Shepherd In the high and rocky heart of Scotland, the Cairngorm mountains stand as elemental, fierce, and full of wonder. Merryn Glover embarks on a journey to explore these landscapes and themes, tracing the footsteps of Nan Shepherd's seminal work, The Living Mountain. This is a conversation between two women across nearly a century, exploring how entering the life of a mountain can illuminate our own. As an Australian who grew up in the Himalayas, Glover brings a unique perspective to her encounter with the Scottish hills and weather. Her approach is one of gentle wandering, rather than mountaineering, allowing her to discover the spark that sets the hills and herself on fire. Through this beautiful evocation of landscape, place, and identity, the wild majesty and iridescence of the Cairngorms are revealed. Shortlisted for The Great Outdoors Reader Awards 2024.
