Boatlines

Wonderful... a rich compendium of the Scottish engagement with the sea' ~Adam Nicolson, author of Life Between the Tides

The small boats that made Scottish history have never seemed so charismatic and characterful as in Ian Stephen’s gorgeous, vivid prose. A writer uniquely attuned to the water, and to the relationships each boat shares with the places it shaped, his stories restore past sea roads and river routes to life' ~David Gange, author of The Frayed Atlantic Edge

[Boatlines] tells of the compelling bonds between humans and nature, along with copious anecdotes about the vessels, who built them, sailed in them, and the communities they served... an evocative love letter to the sea' ~Neil Drysdale, Press and Journal
