Whilst better known for her solo journeys across the Arctic, Peak Beyond Peak takes us on Isobel’s travels across Scotland, from Skye to John O’Groats and many places in between. With a keen interest in science, myth and folklore, these wonderful essays are written with her characteristic wit. Writer Hazel Buchan Cameron has carefully transcribed these previously unpublished papers, and will be sharing their magic with us.
Peak Beyond Peak represents a landmark moment in Scottish culture, not only for bringing focus back to one of Scotland’s most astonishing women and her relationship to the country, but for reaffirming the importance of her work and its message of cultural exchange, curiosity and communication at a time of increasing social division and disconnection from the world.
