From the sheep-covered hills of the Borders to the windswept and majestic Isle of Skye, Peter dives into the world of Scotlands most celebrated breeds with his new book Tails of Scotland: The Story of Scottish Dogs.

From the regal Scottish Deerhound, the gentle giant of the glens, to the mischievous West Highland Terrier stealing hearts (and socks!) across the country, Peter meets the people who adore them and uncovers what makes each breed a perfect fit for its place - and its people.
Whether hes watching a Border Collie command its flock or exploring the inquisitive spirit and unique charm of a Dandie Dinmont, Peter unearths the traditions that make these dogs an integral part of Scotlands heritage.
Packed with lively storytelling, stunning photography of dogs in Scotlands breathtaking landscapes, and practical tips for both current and future owners, Tails of Scotland is a heartfelt celebration of dogs and the folk who cant live without them.
