"The Cairngorm Mountains" is a dive into the past and John Hill Burton manages to make the mountains of the Cairngorm massif come alive. My PhD is about Nan Shepherd and I find some of the similarities stunning and might use them in my PhD. If you're not into mountaineering and Scotland, this book is of course not for you. It's also a bit dated and parts haven't aged that well. But I found it fascinating!
