Wild Light is a stunning panoramic exploration of the Scottish landscape by photographer Craig Aitchison, winner of the inaugural Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.
Produced over seven years and shot entirely using a traditional Hasselblad film camera, this remarkable body of work captures the essence of the Scottish wilderness through the seasons and portrays the Highlands and Islands at their most beautiful.
Featuring over eighty panoramas, this book celebrates the rich natural heritage, incredible geodiversity and varied landscape for which Scotland is internationally renowned. Among a glittering cast of many are the dramatic heights of Suilven, An Teallach and Aonach Eagach, and the otherworldly landscapes of the Lairig Ghru in the Cairngorms and Glen Etive.
Craig Aitchison’s Wild Light will delight anyone who treasures the Scottish mountain landscape.

'If the evidence of Craig Aitchison's work in this magnificent book is anything to go by, it's a process that slows you down and allows you to appreciate the landscape to the full: and in the hands of a master it's a process that allows you to capture the Scottish mountain landscape in a way that evokes joy, longing and wonder. Buy this book.'
– Ken Lussy, Undiscovered Scotland
'It must be a huge gamble by Vertebrate to publish this book, and knowing a little of how much it must have cost to put together, I do hope it is successful for it really does justice to the finest mountain scenery we have in the UK.'
– Dennis Grey, Footless Crow
