Publisher's Synopsis

Richard Clubley has loved islands all his life. When he ventured up north in the 1950s, Richard headed for Arran which had to be reached by ferry - the sea surrounding him. The idea of a world so self-contained was something new to the young boy. Richard was hooked. Since then, Richard has explored around 100 Scottish islands and the excitement never fades. In 'The Sea All Around', Richard paints a vivid portrait of island life, capturing the essence of these worlds bounded by water.

About the Publisher

Luath Press

Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
