Gift Guide: Nature and Travel of 2020

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that 2020 has been tough on everyone. And with the holidays just around the corner, we’re hoping to make the added stress of choosing that perfect gift for a special someone a little bit easier with a series of gift guides. With most of 2020 spent under lockdown restrictions, respite through nature has become increasingly precious, and the thought of travel for most a distant memory, which makes these books a perfect gift this festive season. 

A Life on our Planet by David Attenborough reflects on the climate crisis, the global changes he has seen throughout his life, and his plea with the world to pay attention through what he calls his witness statement. Meanwhile, Antlers of Water, edited by Kathleen Jamie is the first ever collection of Scottish nature and environmental writing, and shows just how diverse and radical contemporary Scottish nature writing is.
