Thick, crunchy layers of ice and snow once covered the land—too cold for even the thickest fur coat and the most padded of paws. A few chilly bears took shelter deep underground, and there they stayed for hundreds of years. Until one little bear went exploring . . . The Balmaha Bears are back!

From the Solway Firth in the south to Shetland in the north, from remote St Kilda to the west to St Abbs in the east, Tom Weir explores Scotland as a walker and climber, and along the way introduces his readers to the range of wildlife and people living in the countryside, and historical aspects of various places. To his vivid descriptive writing he adds memories of some absent friends, and also retraces the path of Bonnie Prince Charlie on the run after Culloden. Tom Weir became a household name in Scotland as a result of the television series in which he explored his native country, but the book 'Weir's Way' is, to quote the author, 'not about every "e;Weir's Way"e; programme ... it is a broader vision of Scotland using the medium of written words'.
