The Pirate

Shetland, Wreckers and an Old Feud

About this book

A wrecker's coast in Shetland, a stranger cast ashore with a past at sea, and two sisters who read the omens differently. Scott built the book on a summer voyage he made round the northern isles with the lighthouse commissioners, and on the real career of the pirate John Gow, hanged at Wapping a century before. Fifty-six plates by painters from Salvator Rosa to J. M. W. Turner track the squalls, lee shores and breaking waves that give this tale its weather.
