He wrote with a revelational wonder and freshness, writing in poetic prose descriptions only possible by someone intimately at home in the hills with their interacting, connected birds, plants, trees, geology, weather, Gaelic culture, place names, history, folklore - an ecologist before the word was coined.Hamish Brown selected passages for Seton Gordon's Scotland and has now made a fascinating choice from Seton Gordon's extensive writings about the Cairngorms. There are descriptions of hill days throughout the seasons and intimate descriptions of wildlife. Seton Gordon lived to a great age but the Cairngorms were his first, young man's enthusiasm.
