Michael Scott became interested in the flora of Britain’s mountain and sub-arctic regions while studying botany at Aberdeen University. He has walked many of the hills of Scotland, Wales and northern England looking for wild flowers in magnificent scenery, and has also botanised widely in the Arctic. For many years he ran a field course on mountain flowers at a field centre in Highland Perthshire. He is a former Scottish Officer of Plantlife, the wild plant conservation charity, and former Deputy Chairman of Scottish Natural Heritage. He was awarded an OBE in 2005 for services to biodiversity conservation in Scotland.
Superbly written and readable ... I highly recommend this book! -- Su Gough BTO book reviews Wonderfully conveys the feeling that looking for alpine plants is one of the most exciting of all the forays we can make into exploring Britain's wild plants -- Noel Kingsbury Gardens Illustrated Part of a series of books clearly modelled on the highly collectable New Naturalist series, but somewhat better designed and better illustrated, Mountain Flowers is a superb introduction to these elusive but tenacious plants. Gardens Illustrated A great guide for the hill walker but also a great read for the armchair traveller. Gardens Illustrated In this richly illustrated and engaging account, botanist and conservationist Michael Scott travels from Cornwall to Shetland, sharing a lifetime of knowledge of Arctic-alpine plants along the way. BBC Wildlife This beautifully produced book left me wanting to climb to the high places to admire these pioneering species. BBC Wildlife
