DISCOVERING CROCKETT COUNTRY
Discovering Crockett Country Volume 1 (2015)
In 'Crockett Country' Cally Phillips takes the reader on an armchair adventure into the Galloway hills, revealing that Crockett Country is at least as much a place of the imagination as of strict topography or geography. From Glentrool to Back Hill o’ the Bush, taking in Loch Enoch, The Dungeon of Buchan and many other places both real and imaginary, if you have never been into the Galloway Hills this book will make you want to go and if you know them well you’ll see them in quite a new light.
