One of mine, too. I agree with you about the "Autobiography," but I also think that his book-long essay (lecture) "The Estate of Poetry" should be required reading for poets.
I am an even bigger fan of his fellow Orcadian, who was also briefly Muir's student in Glasgow, George Mackay Brown. Brown also wrote a wonderful appreciation and memoir about Muir, etc., which I highly recommend.
