Customer Reviews

Excellent Book from a Brilliant Series
These little, pocket sized, books are ideal for taking out walking with you. This Northern Highlands book, contains 40 challening circular walks including many in and around Torridon. The descriptions are concise and useful. This is a great book from an excellent series. My only (minor) gripe is that the walk times given are very ambitious and seem to include no time for rests, lunch, or admiring the view. Personally, I need to add about 25% to the times given - but maybe I am just getting old. If you are walking in the Torridon area I also recommend Peter Barton's "Torridon: A Walker's Guide".

Small is beautiful
what a super little book. the amount of information in such a small space is amazing.
delightfully laid out and a pleasure to read.
Fits well in the rucksack when other heavier tomes would be left behind.

All walking books should be like this one.
As a keen walker living in Scotland, I can't recommend this book (and it's companion volumes) highly enough. It is informative, well written, beautifully laid out and illustrated, genuinely pocket-sized (which is important for walkers), and best of all, cheap.

Another major selling point for me is that all the routes described in the book are circular. Many other walking books I've read fail to understand that not all of us have access to one car, let alone two, so this is definitely a plus.

I would recommend this book to anyone who's interested in walking in Scotland, whether they're experienced walkers or complete novices, locals or tourists.
