This book brings together the quarterly articles that appeared in the Nairnshire Telegraph between 1994 and 2005. It deals with that part of the river Nairn stretching approximately one and a half miles from Howford bridge on the B9090 Cawdor road to the A96 bridge on the main Aberdeen to Inverness road. It is thus part of the wooded wildlife corridor that follows the river throughout practically its entire length.
