  A guide book to the islands of Britain, which stretch from the far north of Scotland (Fair Isle, Orkney and Shetland) to the southernmost regions of the British Isles - the Channel Islands. The book is illustrated with photographs and combines a celebration of British island life with comprehensive practical visitors' information. In Part 1 the author examines the various elements which make the islands of Britain unique. Part 2 is a close-up view of life on the various island groups. Taking each separately, the author examines the special characteristics, interests and features of those islands, and gives practical advice on how to get there, where to stay, when to go and what to see and do.
