Gurkhas In The Mist – A coast-to-coast walk across the Highlands of Scotland

 

John Archibald is a retired soldier who has written this entertaining and riveting account of a fund-raising adventure with a group of Gurkhas. We hope you enjoy Gurkhas in the Mist – A coast-to-coast walk across the Highlands of Scotland.

Alexander McCall Smith said: ”The challenge of undertaking a walk across Scotland with a group of Gurkhas is not one which would appeal to everyone, but the fact that it appealed to the author is fortunate – for it has led to a highly entertaining and informative memoir. This book tells us a lot about the Gurkhas – to whom we all owe a very particular debt – but also about a swathe of magnificent Scottish countryside, with its mountains, lochs and, of course, midges. It is as humorous as it is informative – a highly enjoyable walk through history and landscape in unusual and agreeable company.”
