Peter Edwards lives in Rhenigidale on the Isle of Harris with his wife, Fiona and their Labradors, Mara and Sandie. He is usually happiest when out walking.
Katie Featherstone is a freelance writer and the author of several guidebooks. She writes about hiking, history and slow, sustainable travel. While Peter lives up in the Western Isles, Katie inhabits Port Ellen - Islay - in the Hebrides' far south; the spectacular Small Isles lie scattered between them, conveniently accessed by neither party, but impossible to resist.
