From the wave-washed coast of the Firth of Forth to the high ground of Arthur’s Seat and the Pentland Hills, and from the sparkling waters of the Water of Leith to the woodlands of Corstorphine, Edinburgh is a truly wild city with a wonderful abundance of wildlife.
In Wild Edinburgh, nature writer Keith Broomfield explores the wildlife of the city of his childhood. In an eclectic line-up that includes foxes and badgers, strange parasitic plants, storm-tossed seabirds and fluttering bats, Wild Edinburgh is the perfect book for those who love Scotland’s capital city and are keen to delve deeper into its wild riches. The book includes a handy information guide at the end of each chapter, so that readers, too, can visit these wonderful places and enjoy their fauna and flora. |
