Tom Weir

From his early years, Tom Weir MBE was set on making his way as an explorer, writer, and photographer, a progress interrupted by World War II but then leading to expeditions ranging from the Himalayas to Greenland. For over forty years his feature `My Month' appeared in the Scots Magazine, reflecting his fascination with Scotland, its remote corners, people, and wildlife - interests that made his award-winning TV program Weir's Way so popular. From sources published and unpublished, this collection of Tom Weir's writing has been selected by Hamish Brown from the whole body of his life's work.
