Reisverhaal - Reisgids The Viking Isles | Paul Murton
Paul Murton beschrijft in dit boek zijn reizen naar Orkney en Shetland met veel aandacht voor de cultuur, natuur en historie van deze eilandengroepen. Ook uitermate goed te gebruiken als reisgids door de hoeveelheid informatie die hij geeft.   Paul Murton has long had a love of the Viking north - the island groups of Orkney and Shetland and the old counties of Caithness and Sutherland - which, for centuries, were part of the Nordic world as depicted in the great classic the Orkneyinga Saga.

This is a personal account of Paul's travels in the Viking north.   Full of observation, history, anecdote and encounters with those who live there, it also serves as a practical guide to the many places of interest.

Reisverhaal The Highlands | Paul Murton
Paul Murton journeys the length and breadth of the spectacularly beautiful Scottish Highlands. In addition to bringing a fresh eye to popular destinations such as Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and the Cairngorms, he also visits some remote and little-known locations hidden off the beaten track. Throughout his travels, Paul meets a host of modern Highlanders, from caber tossers and gamekeepers to lairds to pipers. With an instinct for the unusual, he uncovers some strange tales, myths and legends along the way: stories of Jacobites, clan warfare, murder and cattle rustling fill each chapter - as well as some hilarious anecdotes based on his extensive personal experience of a place he loves to call home.

Productomschrijving

Paul Murton beschrijft in dit boek zijn reizen naar Orkney en Shetland met veel aandacht voor de cultuur, natuur en historie van deze eilandengroepen. Ook uitermate goed te gebruiken als reisgids door de hoeveelheid informatie die hij geeft.   Paul Murton has long had a love of the Viking north - the island groups of Orkney and Shetland and the old counties of Caithness and Sutherland - which, for centuries, were part of the Nordic world as depicted in the great classic the Orkneyinga Saga. Today this fascinating Scandanavian legacy can be found everywhere - in physical remains, place-names, local traditions and folklore, and much else besides. This is a personal account of Paul's travels in the Viking north.   Full of observation, history, anecdote and encounters with those who live there, it also serves as a practical guide to the many places of interest. From a sing-along with the Shanty Yell Boys to fishing off Muckle Flugga, from sword dancing with the men of Papa Stour to a Norwegian pub crawl in Lerwick, Paul paints a vivid picture of these lands and their people, and explores their extraordinary rich heritage.
