Sea Room by Adam Nicolson

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be given your own remote islands? Thirty years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson. Having inherited his father's Outer Hebridean islands, known as the Shiants, Nicolson set about discovering the his own and the islands' story. The long and at timespainful history and the rich array of wildlife, including puffins and seals, are combined in his book to make a fascinating celebration of this unusual legacy. Illus. Maps.
