‘A Sense of Rightness Regained’ by Jim Crumley

October 20th 2022

‘A Sense of Rightness Regained’ by Scottish nature writer Jim Crumley  (70kb pdf)

To launch our Creative Writing page we commissioned Scottish nature writer Jim Crumley to provide us with our first published piece of prose.

His brief? Write as much as you want, provided it’s about the wildlife or landscape or geology of Assynt, or all three!

Jim, who was the closing speaker at the Field Club’s 30th Anniversary events during August 2016 was happy to oblige. This even although he was heavily involved at the time with the launch of his latest book ‘Seasons of Storm and Wonder’.
