    "Scotland's wild land - what future? is a well-produced, worthwhile publication and one likely to provoke more thought in its 36 pages than anything in your stocking from the Christmas bestsellers' list."
    The Angry Corrie 56, Jan - Mar 2003.

    The booklet is priced very reasonably at £4 to promote a wide readership. The range and nature of the articles, plus the superb photography should ensure that this publication will be a significant contribution to the debate and something that people will wish to retain for the future.

    All members have been sent a free copy.

    If you are able to help distribute leaflets publicising this booklet, please get in touch with the Steering Team via enquiries at-sign swlg.org.uk as soon as possible.
