From the southern tip of Barra to the ancient stone circle of Callanish, Leonie and her friend Shuna ride off the beaten tracks on their beloved Highland ponies, Ross and Chief. In deeply poetic prose, she describes not only the beauties of the Hebridean landscape, its spare, penetrating light and its people, but also confronts the ghost of her mother and their fractured relationship.

"Beautifully written and poetic, this book not only introduces you to a breathtaking area of Scotland, but also to Scottish people. Simply put, a must-read for anyone visiting the area for the first time, and for anyone who knows the place well, but has never experienced it on horseback!"
