The Black Cloud: Scottish Mountain Misadventures, 1928-1966 [first edition]

The Black Cloud provides an account of some of the Scottish mountain misadventures in the years 1928 - 1966. The book begins in the late 1920s when searches were made by shepherds, stalkers and as many able-bodied volunteers as could be mustered; it ends in the days when helicopters and trained mountain rescue teams had become available.
