The great storm hit the Scottish Highlands in the autumn of 1953, slamming into the ancient wilderness of austere rock-hewn landscapes and quiet glens, destroying communities as it raged. But when he set out, the storm had not yet hit. The sun was crystal clear in the sky, and the land around him had a remoteness and purity that was simply breathtaking. But this beauty belied the deadly nature of the wilderness. Now wind is howling through the trees, shadows are flickering in the darkness, and his face is stinging from the ice-cold rain. He doesn't care about anything now. He just needs to get out of the storm. Nothing else matters. He is completely alone.No.Not completely.
