Where A Cold Light Falls: A Nature Journey Through Northeast Scotland Aberdeenshire ~ Angus ~ Moray
Keith Broomfield has been exploring wild places in the northeast of Scotland for 40 years, since his days as a zoology student at the University of Aberdeen. In Where a Cold Light Falls, he revisits old haunts and discovers thrilling new habitats, taking his readers through all kinds of landscapes, from the stormy Buchan coast to the towering tops of the Cairngorms. On the way, he encounters bottlenose dolphins by Aberdeen Harbour, golden eagles in Glen Derry, marsh harriers in Angus, dancing butterflies near Elgin, and barrel jellyfish in the sea off Pennan. Other highlights include the cackling cacophony of the seabird cliffs at Fowlsheugh and throngs of pink-footed geese blackening the sky as they return to their roosting sites by the Montrose Basin. Where a Cold Light Falls will open the eyes of anyone wanting to explore the wild secrets of northeast Scotland and the timeless beauty of its mountains, woods, rivers, lochs and coast.
