The Ythan estuary on the north-east coast of Scotland is one of the smallest estuaries in the UK, but one of the best documented in terms of its ecology. Yet relatively little has been written about the people and forces that have shaped that ecology. Their stories are part of why the Ythan looks as it does today, so this book is as much about them as the estuary's wildlife and landforms.
