This is a loch-related pocket geography of Scotland, arranged "by drainage basins, beginning in southern Scotland, travelling north to the Pentland Firth, then west to the Hebrides and finishing with Orkney and Shetland." Detailed information on flora, fauna and ecology. Some archaeology. Little on fishing besides information on permits. None the worse for that, this is a useful little book which is worth the attention of anyone interested in the lochs of Scotland.
