A deeply personal journey through the Scottish Highlands, this memoir follows an actor's transformative trek along the West Highland Way. Battling exhaustion, injury, and self-doubt, he discovers that the path offers far more than stunning vistas—it becomes a pilgrimage into memory, identity, and what it means to call Scotland home.
Weaving together stories from the trail with reflections on Scottish history, culture, and his own complicated relationship with his homeland, the author creates an intimate portrait of a nation and a man searching for connection. Each waypoint along the 96-mile route marks not just physical progress, but emotional milestones in understanding belonging, resilience, and the landscape that shaped him.
Both love letter to Scotland and honest meditation on personal challenges, this is a read for anyone drawn to wild places and the truths they reveal about ourselves.
