@finnbarrotty @MerrynGlover @AbdnUniPress @PolygonBooks @canongatebooks @NanPrize @scotlit @RobGMacfarlane @kerriandrewsuk @annabelabbs @samlwalton @natlibscot You have Sheila Clouston's copy?! How wonderful and special. I'm sure it would have been a gift from Nan Shepherd to Sheila. Are there any annotations?

It's just the loveliest thing to hear from readers. Makes it all worthwhile.

[Dr Rachael Purse @DrRachaelPurse]

I've read The Weatherhouse, Quarry Wood, The Living Mountain and In The Cairngorms, but now I've finally gotten round to reading @thecpeacock biography of Nan herself. I'm learning a lot about Scottish literature in the process, I highly recommend it!

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@DrRachaelPurse Thank you. That's so kind of you to say. Glad you're enjoying it. 💚

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@townsendoutdoor So blue. They almost look like waves 😍

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

Thank you, @ALCS for the work you do for authors and illustrators. And for today's payment which brightened up a rainy Wednesday morning 🌤️

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@PeteCrane5 @Highland_HER @HighlandHistory @NethyCommunity The only sport Nan Shepherd admitted to enjoying. Please post pics when you give it a go?😀

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@deborahparkin So excited for you! Looking forward to seeing the results. Enjoy it. I'm sure there'll be lots more to come 📚 📷

Cults Library closing... They were kind and helpful when I was researching Nan Shepherd's life. I'm pretty certain Shepherd would have minded. Muchly.

[Aberdeen City Council @AberdeenCC]

Cornhill, Cults, Ferryhill, Kaimhill, Northfield and Woodside libraries will close on the 31 March. Items issued from these sites from Saturday 4 March will have a period of grace until the 12 May in which to return books to other library sites

Well worth switching on for. The Dee from the far #Cairngorms, #NanShepherd and @MerrynGlover all on one show - not to mention genial host Paul Murton @PtmurtonG

[Natasha Carthew @natashacarthew]

Never thought in my lifetime I'd utter the words "My memoir publishes next month!" I tell you what folks, there's a bloody storm brewing, cus I won't shut up about rural poverty, won't shut up about 2nd homes, won't shut up about the iniquity of this government #UndercurrentBook

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@natashacarthew @CoronetBooks @HodderBooks I've pre-ordered. So looking forward to reading it.🌊

[Neil Reid @Cairngorm22]

Love the #Cairngorms? Curious about Nan Shepherd's experiences and how they're seen through a modern eye? Looking for something a bit deeper than a walking guidebook to help you get to know the hills?
This is the very book.

[Charlotte Peacock @thecpeacock]

@LeftPeggers They are indeed!

#NanShepherd in her conservatory. There's a painting of it by Barbara Balmer which, I think, captures her essence:
