Description
Borrowed Land is Kapka Kassabova's captivating portrait of the Scottish Highlands, a place of raw beauty and complex history.
Through vivid encounters with the people who call it home, Kassabova weaves together stories of powerful rivers, ancient Pictish cairns, and wild meadows where deer emerge like ghosts.
But this isn't just a love letter to the landscape. It's an urgent exploration of how colonialism, industry, and private interests have fractured the ancient bonds between land, nature, and community.
Meet the last true Highlanders - those fighting to reclaim and preserve their home against the odds.
A deeply moving read that reveals a world both wounded and achingly alive.
"Brave, intense, unexpected, lyrical and troubling" Rory Stewart.
