Music from Jenny Sturgeon’s album inspired by ‘The Living Mountain’, the masterpiece of nature writing by Nan Shepherd (1893-1991) wherein she described her journeys into the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland. Published in 1977, it is hailed as “the finest book ever written on nature and landscape in Britain.” (The Guardian)
