From the cover: Only the road and the dawn, sang John Masefield, the sun, the wind and the rain, And the watch fire under the stars, and sleep, and the road again. BB also took the road, the one to the Isles, and here is his glad remembrance of the Scottish dawns and wind and the Highland sun, of great storms and tranquil lochs and always the road of Autumn stretching ahead. A latter-day gipsy, with motor caravan in place of Romany vardo, he roamed the Northern land in the depopulated weeks of October and November and here in word and exquisite drawing are the things he saw. So you may read of the dusk encounter with the belling stag, of Halloween in far Glengarry, the keening of the gulls over the white sands of Keppoch and of many other things: and everywhere you will visualize the glowing colours of the dying year.
