If you like Tam Weir  and have not yet read it, this is a great book to buy.

Written with refreshing innocence. The enthusiasm and naivety of youth.

Yeah! Ive read that, very good indeed. I recently purchased his "The Scottish Lochs"  for 1p but £2.80 p&p, and a kindle edition of " Tom Weir An Anthology which was put together by Hamish Brown.

I was fortunate enough to meet the great man when he gave a slide show and talk @ the Airdrie branch of the Royal Geographical Society              [Yes! there was such a thing, but which is sadly no longer in existence]

Good shout will put this in my planner . Have his box set of dvd's dig them out now and again in winter . Could listen to him all day his passion for Scotland was verging on addiction .
