After walking the entire coastline of Britain with his dog Jet, Christian Lewis discovers an uninhabited island in the Shetlands and makes an extraordinary decision: to live there alone for a year. Finding Hildasay chronicles this remarkable experiment in solitude and self-sufficiency on a remote, windswept isle where no one has lived for decades.
Lewis confronts the raw realities of island life – brutal weather, isolation, and the constant challenge of survival. Yet amidst the hardship, he finds unexpected beauty and a profound sense of belonging. This is a deeply personal account of one man's quest to understand himself through immersion in nature, and a testament to the transformative power of Britain's wildest places.
