Walking the Song

Hamish Brown

Walking the Song by Hamish Brown

Hamish Brown has been an outdoorsman for more than sixty years. The first person to complete an uninterrupted round of Scotland’s Munros, his account of the feat in Hamish’s Mountain Walk is a classic of Scottish mountain literature. Throughout those years he has contributed articles and essays to many journals and, in this selection, he presents not an autobiography or some overview of life, but a very personal record of his many journeys and interests from his ‘dancing days of spring’ to his present, very active, later life.

Reviews

‘Hamish Brown is a legend in UK backpacking circles... While this book is about so much more, I think it’s no stretch to say that Hamish Brown’s tales in Walking the Song animate the spirit of the [Great Outdoors] Challenge: skill, respect for the outdoors and the environment, grand adventures, and friendship.’
