  Bridget and Don MacCaskill have been nurturing the foxes in the central Scottish Highlands for as many years as they have been observing the otters on a west-coast sea loch, which they chronicled in On the Swirl of the Tide . But foxes belong to a persecuted species. While sheep farmers and gamekeepers attempted to eliminate these beautiful, intelligent and resilient creatures, the MacCaskills were busy rescuing waifs that came their way. Some fox cubs they kept, until they were fully grown, in conditions as wild as possible; others became engaging pets. This book fits together a number of fox encounters into one continuous story, and describes the creatures with which they share the wild glens and hills of the central Scottish Highlands - the golden eagles, the badgers, and a particular wildcat.
