Customer Reviews

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.

A True Pocket Guide
This is an excellent guide, covering a multitude of walks in this region. It is what it says, a guide that is small enough to fit in your pocket and small enough to go with you on the walk itself, unlike lots of other guides you come across. Each walk has an ample description and a small map. As with all guides a proper OS map is essential. For those who like to sit and read through a book to inspire themselves this is excellent for that, the photographs are outstanding and I look forward to getting the other guides in the series. He has truely done a god job on this guides.

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.
