'As the author himself says, the lure of the Hebrides has always been as much about travelling as about arriving. The fact that, half a century ago, the means of travel was often very slow and unpredictable was part of its charm, and part of the wider lure of the Hebridean landscape and its people. This helps to explain why nostalgia for these ships of yesteryear is as strong as interest in today's ultra functional fleet. Those elegant old ships symbolised a way of life that made the Hebrides a world apart.' - amazon.co.uk

Despite the changes of the past half century, the Hebrides remain environmentally and culturally 'a world apart' from mainland Britain, while being palpably part of a modern transport system.
