This event at the forthcoming Kirkcudbright Book Festival sounds excellent:
Upland: Exploring Mountains, Hills and Time
Venue: Council Chambers, Kirkcudbright Library, Daar Road, Kirkcudbright DG6 4JG 4.30pm Thursday March 5
Journey through Britain’s high places with Ian Crofton in a celebration of mountains and those who defined them. From ancient workers to modern wanderers, Upland blends history, nature and personal discovery – revealing landscapes full of life and memories. This event reflects on our enduring connection to upland worlds and our place.
Ian Crofton‘s books exploring the interplay of landscape, nature and history include Walking the Border: A Journey between Scotland and England, rated by both The Guardian and Trailmagazine as ‘excellent’. His Fringed with Mud and Pearls: An English Island Odyssey was described by the BBC’s Countryfile as ‘really engaging’, and by Coast magazine as ‘a fascinating study about what it means to exist on the fringes’.
Upland: A Journey Through Time and the Hills was published in May 2025.
