Robert Atkinson se do Hebrid poprvé dostal ve svých jednadvaceti letech a okamžitě si ostrovy i jejich obyvatele zamiloval. Jeho spisy zachycují hluboké pouto k této krajině a jejímu lidu, často s nostalgickým pohledem na její krásu a tradice. Atkinsonovo psaní vyniká poetickým jazykem a pronikavým pozorováním, které čtenáře vtáhne do atmosféry ostrovního života. Jeho díla jsou oslavou přírody a lidského ducha, odhalující trvalý půvab odlehlých míst.
