Peak Beyond Peak

While better known for her solo journeys across the Arctic, these essays detail the Scottish journeys of Isobel Wylie Hutchison over a period of 50 years. Written with characteristic wit and a keen interest in science, myth and folklore, the essays serve as important cultural markers not just of Scotland as it was and has developed, but of Hutchison’s development as a person and writer, and a testament to the importance of cultural connection, exploration and communication.
