William Collins presents the Frayed Atlantic Edge Historians. Journey From Shetland to the Channel by David Gange, read by Ed Hughes. Few ports in the Northwest could handle these cattle fields smacks when the boats reach. Your livestock were often just pushed into the sea salt water, helping heal those gored by their neighbours in the crossing. How Dane describes the trist at broad food on sky, where at the height of summer livestock were gathered for the next stage of their journeys. He conjures the noise of cattle and the shouting of the drovers, the quarrelling, bargaining and courting of the crowd, the tents in the hollow where food was cooking for we drovers and, in the background, the steep, stony sides of the mountain, looking Doon on the bay and the river. He describes the pristine reflections of shapely hills in C Locks on wonders whether drovers ever saw this scenic workplace as compensation for difficult lives.
