About this product

Product Information

A Last Wild Place is Tomkies' bestseller - the book for which he will be remembered more than for any of the other eight he has written about the remote Highland lochside cottage and its surrounding hills where he has lived alone for twenty years without electricity, gas, telephone or postal service, studying the wildlife. Here the one-time Hollywood journalist gives a remarkable picture of the whole cycle of nature through the seasons in a harsh environment of unrivalled beauty. The Duke of Edinburgh wrote in the Good Book Guide: 'The North West of Scotland is indeed a wild place, but to the observant eye of the author it is full of wonderful life. This book does more than describe a piece of wild country and its population of wild animals: it gives a vivid picture of someone wholly absorbed by his subject.'

  • Compelling life story that takes you there

    Mike Tomkies has a way of writing which puts you right in the frame, so to speak. It's his story of living in the last truly wild place in the UK, the Highlands of Scotland. He gets close to the various animals there who become his only neighbours, a far cry from the high flying career as a Fleet Street journalist before he took to the wild places to heal his disillusioned spirit. A great read for all lovers of the natural world.
