From feral goats to fast fish, this book really does take you around the wildlife of Scotland. Do you know what a Natterjack is for example? Wait until you get to Caerlaverock and you will find out.

With an interest in wildlife spanning from his earliest years, Keith Broomfield is a well-known Scottish nature writer with a passion for the great outdoors. Keith’s blog  is crammed full of information!

A graduate in zoology from the University of Aberdeen, Keith’s writing covers virtually every element of the natural world from flora and fungi, to invertebrates, mammals, birds and marine life.

Based in Strathdevon, Keith gains much of his inspiration from exploring the hills, woods, rivers and lochs of this beautiful part of Scotland. He currently writes a weekly ‘Nature Watch’ column for The Courier newspaper, as well as his ‘On the Wildside’ column for the Alloa Advertiser.
