Alec Finlay - Gathering. A Place Aware Guide To The Cairngorms


Hauser & Wirth 2018 ISBN 9783952446188 Acqn 29083
Hb 17x26cm 284pp col ills £40

'Gathering' is an innovative mapping of the Highland landscape in poems, essays, photographs,


and maps, conceived by Scottish artist and poet Alec Finlay. The work guides the reader to
modest and forgotten places in this complex region. 'Gathering' was created for The Fife Arms,
located in Braemar within the heart of the Cairngorms, which will reopen in Winter 2018 after a
complete restoration.

A multitude of perspectives - of the walker, hiker, climber, stalker, gun, forager, birdwatcher, and
geologist - are gathered together, weaving varied perceptions of the landscape and revealing the
ways in which these reflect human uses and human desires. By combining poetics, ecology, and
folk-cartography, Finlay's 'place-aware' philosophy offers readers and visitors alike a remarkable
new insight into this evocative and vulnerable landscape.
