"When
we first put together Eilean Dubh, the book was just for us - we never dreamed
that we'd created the Favourite Scottish Nature Photography Book for 2012! That
we did so is thanks to all the readers who voted for it. We appreciate every single
vote.
"Eilean Dubh's
success is particularly gratifying because the shortlist included such great books,
some by big names in nature photography. We were delighted that a self-published
work was even considered; to win is incredible, but maybe not so surprising when
you consider the beauty and variety of the Black Isle. This is a place which definitely
deserves to be better known." - Andrew, James and Russell
