Author Description

The highlands and lowlands of Scotland provide some of the most spectacular hillwalking country in the British Isles. This new edition of The Hillwalker’s Guide to Scotland, extended to include 18 additional walks in north-west and western Scotland, contains a total of 68 memorable walks of varying lengths and degrees of toughness, chosen not only for their scenic beauty but also, wherever possible, for historical interest, wildlife and plants, monuments, ruins and clan history.Your guide is Bruce Sandison, a Scot who knows the hills of his native land better than most, and he provides all the practical details that you will need to know how many hours to allow, how many miles you will cover, what kind of terrain to expect, where to park the car, Ordnance Survey references and essential route directions. In addition, each walk is accompanied by a clear sketch map and a vivid descriptive essay, based always on first-hand experience.
