What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Fascinating, provocative and, occasionally, very funny’
‘A remarkable, highly readable yet scholarly book’
– Jim Corrigan * Faith and Freedom *‘Fascinating, provocative and, occasionally, very funny’
– Joanna Kavenna * Times Literary Supplement *‘One of the most fascinating books I’ve read for a long while, if maddeningly hard to categorise’
– David Robinson * Scotsman *‘Poacher’s Pilgrimage is a book full of generosity, spry in its thinking and detailed in its observations’
* Scotland on Sunday *‘The language is almost poetic, reflecting the writer’s artistic gifts and his understanding of Celtic and pre-Celtic culture’
– David Thomson * Press & Journal (book of the week) *‘His honesty is humbling … he never skirts a question. He is on a mission, and having been Scotland’s first professor of human ecology, he seems at times prophetic’
– Polly Pullar * Scottish Field *‘If this sounds more serious than a Presbyterian church service, there is great fun to be found in Poacher’s Pilgrimage. McIntosh is an entertaining subversive’
