Running Blind was set in Scotland at the very beginning and end, but in glorious Iceland for the main part of the story.

Iceland is a rugged and beautiful country sitting atop one of those joins in the world’s tectonic-plates called the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Two great swathes of the earth’s crust rub up against each other here, giving the country it’s active volcanic geology.

I have a few very good friends there and they’ve been kind enough to supply me with a few photographs of the landscape where Bagley set his story.
