Synopsis

The Cuillin, on the Isle of Skye, form the finest single chain of mountains in Britain, rising straight out of the sea to a height of over 3000 feet, and presenting a landscape of light and rapidly changeable weather. This award-winning volume of photographs, taken by British photographer Gordon Stainforth, explores the savage beauty of this unique mountain region, and captures the essence of rock climbing and scrambling in the area.

Media Reviews
* 'I can imagine the book glowing in the dark. The Cuillin is far more than a collection of brilliant photos. It is a coherent whole, a homage in images, poems and prose to the best mountain ridge in Britain. Gordon Stainforth has had the last word on the subject' - Jim Curran, High Magazine * 'Gordon Stainforth's photographic tour de force... revealing him as something of a philosopher besides master landscape photographer' - Stephen Goodwin, Independent * 'A masterpiece' - Alpine Journal
