A Galloway Year

Impressions of a naturalist and an artist

A Galloway Year by Ian Carter and Karen Menarry is a beautifully illustrated celebration of the wildlife, landscapes and changing seasons of Galloway in south-west Scotland. Blending evocative nature writing with stunning original artwork, the book explores Galloway’s ancient forests, silver lochs, rugged coastline, rolling farmland, heather-covered hills and the vast Solway shore.

Perfect for readers interested in Scottish wildlife, nature writing, walking, birdwatching and Britain’s remaining wild places, A Galloway Year reveals why Galloway is one of Scotland’s most biodiverse and unspoilt regions. Away from the country’s busiest tourist routes, this hidden corner of south-west Scotland offers rich habitats for wildlife and breathtaking scenery for outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of landscape art.

More than a celebration of place, the book also reflects on the urgent importance of conservation, biodiversity and protecting fragile natural habitats. Through the combined perspectives of an artist and a naturalist who call Galloway home, readers gain a deeper understanding of the environmental pressures facing Britain’s countryside and the need to preserve its wild landscapes for future generations.

Richly atmospheric and visually inspiring, A Galloway Year is an essential read for anyone passionate about Scottish nature, environmental conservation and the beauty of the British landscape.
