Hamish Brown, who occupies a special place as a Scottish writer and traveller, turns his wealth of experience into captivating narratives of fascinating people and places; sometimes serious, at times laugh aloud in this new volume. Chasing the Dreams is a companion to Walking the Song, with the same kaleidoscopic range and variety, telling of treks in Scotland, the Alps, Atlas and Himalaya, of ventures by canoe and sailing, ski-ing and cycling.

This is outdoors writing at its finest

Perhaps the title of this book should be ‘Living the Dream’ for Hamish’s dream is one that thousands aspire to but rarely capture. He’s a legend and an inspiration. Read on and dream again...


…the writings of a man who has experienced and thought deeply, remains fiercely curious … both evocative and dynamic.

* Alpine Journal *

This collection of essays surely confirms Brown as one of the world’s greatest mountain explorers.
