Review
'It is an excellent guide, really detailed, which is what you need on the rocky terrain of Arran. It will attract people to visit Arran for a longer period to tackle not just the great ridges of the NE corner but the many easier walks to be found in the rest of the Island. Irish Mountain Log Magazine, Summer 2006

Walking in the Isle of Arran
This is a really useful guide with detailed descriptions and maps for 41 walks covering the whole island. This means that there are walks for everyone in here, from strolls along the coast to serious routes which require a rope and a head for heights. The routes are presented in a way that allow the walker to combine two routes for a big challenge, or include short cuts and amendments according to interest. Highly recommended.

Walking in the Isle of Arran
This is an exelent book for both hill walking and also lower level walking. There are walks of verious lenghts and standards.
