Why read it?
1 author picked An Eye on the Hebrides as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I turn to this book when I am feeling nostalgic about Scotland. Hedderwick captures for me the undertones of Scottish life.
From Claire's list on to lose yourself in the dream that is Scotland.
