Robert Atkinson sa na Hebridy prvýkrát dostal ako dvadsaťjedenročný a ostrovy i ich obyvatelia si ho okamžite získali. Jeho diela zachytávajú hlboké puto k tejto krajine a jej ľuďom, často s nostalgickým pohľadom na jej krásu a tradície. Atkinsonovo písanie vyniká poetickým jazykom a prenikavým pozorovaním, ktoré čitateľa vtiahne do atmosféry ostrovného života. Jeho práce sú oslavou prírody a ľudského ducha, odhaľujúc trvalé čaro odľahlých miest.
