"The unsurpassable strangeness of the island resides in the chasmic gulf between the naturally evolved and the negligently created, between Scarp and scrap, between the sublime and the substandard." - Jonathan MeadesWriter, journalist and film-maker Jonathan Meades and photographer Alex Boyd present a unique exploration of 'The Isle of Rust', better known as Lewis and Harris.A decade on from Meades' landmark series 'Off Kilter', described by The Telegraph as 'a masterpiece', Boyd returns to the island, spending two years documenting the stunning landscapes of the Outer Hebrides, a strange, sometimes rusty paradise.Alongside Meades' insightful observations and explorations of the island, Boyd's photography captures the rugged and austere beauty of the place, from the bays and mountains of Harris, to the moorland shacks of Lewis.

SALTIRE SOCIETY SCOTTISH FIRST BOOK OF THE YEAR R.M. Murray has a story. Quite a few of them. Of seasickness, hangovers, the wrong kind of weather. Of the joy of woe, and disappointments fairy-lit with hope. From fishing in the endless rain on the Isle of Lewis to performing in a band with Peter Capaldi and Craig Ferguson at Glasgow School of Art. A stargazer, looking through the wrong end of the telescope. This is a memoir... of sorts. A join-the-dots journey through a life. A series of vignettes and minor personal fables, sardonic and self-deprecating. If it were a wine it would be very dry with an insolent nose and a desperate finish. Complex but approachable. And affordable.

"...in my dream, I was right here, and by that, I mean I was sitting exactly where I'm sitting now, and I was enjoying the ale and bread that was on the table. And Craycroft was right there with what looked like a gathering of young men, and he was telling a tale; but let me tell you, it was no ordinary tale. It was of a book with men of power seeking it out; but it was eventually found by a young friar who lost everything to obtain this book. And Craycroft told us that there was one on this island who had seen this book, someone called Drachma." In Turbulence and Restoration, the third installment in the Drachma series, a riveting compilation of fantasy, magic, and medical discovery, Bob Gilsen and Judy continue in their quest in search of the only man who has all the answers to their mysterious circumstances. How did they travel through time and through the ages back to the fifteenth century? Why were they there, and would they ever go back? Who was this elder of the forest responsible for their travel back in time? Would they ever meet him? And what secrets lay written in the pages of the elusive Book of Drachma? Find out the fate of Bob, Judy, and their medieval entourage as they journey through the island of Shepperton in search for the answers that will surely only bring more questions about their fate in a history that could forever change their future.
