"When we first put together
Eilean Dubh, the book was just for us - we never dreamed that
we'd created the Favourite Scottish Nature Photography Book
for 2012! That we did so is thanks to all the readers who
voted for it. We appreciate every single vote.
Eilean Dubh's success is particularly
gratifying because the shortlist included such great books,
some by big names in nature photography. We were delighted
that a self-published work was even considered; to win is
incredible, but maybe not so surprising when you consider
the beauty and variety of the Black Isle. This is a place
which definitely deserves to be better known." - Andrew,
James and Russell
