Glasgow provides an excellent focal point from which to explore the vast array of lovely scenery almost on its doorstep. All the walks are roughly within a 30 miles radius from Glasgow, the most far flung being Tinto, the highest summit in the Clyde Valley. There are walks through deep wooded gorges, around huge 'boating' lakes, visiting stately homes, country parks and outstanding museum collections.

Dumfries and Galloway is Scotland's south west, a broad wedge of land jutting out into the Irish Sea between the Solway Firth and the Firth of Clyde. It is also part of Scotland's border country; from the higher points of the Galloway Hills the mountains of the English Lake District can be seen rising above the opposite shores of the Solway and, in clear conditions, the hills of Northern Ireland are also visible on the skyline.

Lying between the Highlands to the north and the Lake District mountains to the south Dumfries and Galloway can get overlooked by many hill walkers, but for those sensible enough to stop and explore, the reward is a peaceful, unspoilt region that possesses a mild climate, tremendously varied scenery and a rich historic legacy.

The Galloway Hills of south west Scotland offer almost unlimited access for walkers, a rare freedom that has contributed to their description as 'a walker's paradise'. These hills provide walks that vary from gentle waymarked forest trails to strenuous bothy-based treks. You can marvel at the wild qualities of the hills and follow the colourful and turbulent history of the Scottish clans and Robert the Bruce.

The Ochils, Campsie Fells and Lomond Hills are the most accessible hills in Scotland's central belt, yet despite their close proximity to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth, these ranges remain a remarkably un-crowded, wild area. The hills offer a rich mixture of open moorland peaks, steep-sided glens, fast flowing burns and lush woodland. Few other areas can treat the hillwalker to such diverse scenery, wildlife and terrain in the space of a single day's outing.

The guide contains 33 contrasting walks, most of which are circular, split over the three hill ranges. Each walk has comprehensive directions and an OS Landranger full colour map. Each walk is also illustrated with colour photographs of which there are plenty throughout the book. For each walk starting grid references, distance, ascent, estimated time and terrain details are given. The book begins with a useful introduction to walking in these hills, ensuring you get the most enjoyment from your time spent in this splendid area.

The geology means that the area covered by this guidebook lies within the Highlands. At its heart is the small area known as the Trossachs, by rights just a richly wooded glen between lochs Katrine and Achray, but usually taken to describe a tract of country extending northwards from Aberfoyle to include lochs Ard, Katrine, Achray and Venachar. It is the district's tree fringed lochs, rather than the hills that surround them, which give it its rare beauty and character. The name 'Trossachs' is derived from the Gaelic and means 'bristly country'. The scenery here is particularly spectacular when clothed in the colours of autumn.

Loch Lomond lies to the west of the Trossachs and shares with them the aura of romance that was bestowed on the district by Wordsworth, Coleridge and Sir Walter Scott.

The north-eastern extremity of the area covered is dominated by Loch Earn's Ben Vorlich. To the south west an exploration of the strange geological feature known as The Whangie gives yet another perspective of the mountains of the Southern Highlands as well as a view over the vast plains of the Clyde and Forth. The main town in the region is Stirling in the south east.

The walk locations are: Killin - Finlarig and Loch Tay; Donich Water and Lochgoilhead; Inversnaid and Rob Roy's cave; The Whangie; Gartmorn Dam; Dumyat; The Fault Trail; Lennoxtown and Campsie Glen; Dollar Glen and Glenquey reservoir; Loch Ard; Ben A'an; Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet; Doune Hill; Dunblane and Bridge of Allan; the ancient forest below Beinn Dubhchraig; Ben Venue; Ben Ledi; Stirling, Wallace Monument and Cambuskenneth Abbey; Conic Hill and Balmaha; Glen Finglas; BeinnTharsuinn and Beinn Lochain; Ben Vorlich and Loch Earn; The Brack; The Cobbler; Cruach Ardrain; Ben Lomond from Rowardennan; Ben Cleuch; Ben More and Stob Binnein.

The Heart of Scotland is the magnificent walking country between Stirling and Perth, extending west to St Fillans and Loch Earn and north to Amultree in the Sma' Glen. Easily accessible from all of central Scotland, it is a paradise for walkers.

The walks described here take in some of the most beautiful scenery in central Scotland. Included are routes around the site where William Wallace fought and won his famous battle, the spectacular and popular Ochil Hills, Scotland's oldest distillery at Glenturret, and the hidden gem of Pitcairns Den.

The area covered by this walking guide is that part of north east Scotland that lies between the Cairngorms and the sea. It has in fact two coastlines, the North Sea and the Moray Firth and two major river valleys, the Dee and the Don. To the west it is bounded by the eastern edge of the Cairngorms and the valley of the Spey. To the south the region has a less well defined border, the fertile lowlands of the Howe of the Mearns, merging imperceptibly with that further south. It is a region that contains a great variety of attractive landscapes from dramatic rugged coastlines to the Grampian Highlands stretching eastwards towards the coast. The scenic variety, a wealth of historic attractions and generally clear and well waymarked paths combine to make this an excellent walking area.

Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed 1:25,000 scale maps from Ordnance Survey and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations. The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Details are included for useful organisations, refreshment stops and places to leave your car. Although we always recommend taking the appropriate OS Explorer or Outdoor Leisure map on all walks, in the case of the Pathfinder Guides this mapping is included, with the route clearly outlined in yellow.

The walk locations are: Balmoral; Aden Country Park and Deer Abbey; Banchory, River Dee and Crathes Castle; The Bochel and Crombie Water; Bunzeach Forest; Clachnaben; Collieston and the Sands of Forvie; Creag Choinnich and the Lion's Face; Crovie and Troup Head; Cruden Bay; Cullen and Portknockle; Deveron Valley; Duff house and the Bridge of Alvah; Elgin, River Lossie and Quarry Wood; Elrick and Brimmond Hills; Forest of Deer; Haddo House and Country Park; Huntly; Inverbervie; Kemnay and the River Don; Laurencekirk and Denlethen Wood; Mither Tap, Oxen Craig and Craigshannoch; River Don, Beach and old Aberdeen; Scolty Hill; Stonehaven and Dunnottar Castle; Suie Hill; Tap o'North; Tyrebagger Hill, Kirkhill Forest.

The area covered by this guidebook is centred on the Highland 'capital' of Inverness, and extends north and east along the shores of the Moray Firth and south and west to Fort Augustus and Glen Affric, encompassing Caithness, eastern Sutherland, Easter Ross, the Black Isle, Moray and the banks of Loch Ness.

The North East Highlands have a distinctive character that is very different from the rugged wilderness of the west coast with its scattered jigsaw of islands, ragged sea lochs and bare rocky mountains. Here a patchwork quilt of fertile farmland lines the shores of the Moray Firth, and the heather clad hills are lower and more rounded. The climate is softer too, lying in the rain shadow of the Highlands and protected from prevailing south westerly winds; Nairn is one of the driest and sunniest places in Scotland.

For the walker the region's attractions are many and varied, from the wild and lonely hills of Sutherland and the sea cliffs of Caithness, to Glen Affric's native pine woods and Moray's magnificent salmon rivers. There is the added bonus that the North East Highlands are far less busy than the popular walking areas of the Cairngorms, Glencoe and Torridon and it is quite common to have a hilltop or beach all to yourself.

The Walk locations are: The Stacks of Duncansby; Craig Phadrig; River Oich; Ness Islands and Tomnahuirich; The Black Rock of Novar; Findhorn Gorge; Carbisdale Wood; Rogie Falls; Brora to Carn Liath Broch; Noss Head; Knock Farril and Cnoc Mor; Chanonry Point and the Fairy Glen; Farigaig Forest; Covesea Coast; Struie Hill; The Speyside Way; Culbin Forest; Big Burn Glen and Ben Bhraggie; Tarbat Ness and Portmahomack; Meallfuarvonie; Ben Rinnes; Loch Affric; Ben Griam Beg; The Glen Loth Hills; Morven; Ben Wyvis; Ben Klibreck; Wade's Road to the Corrieyairack Pass.

The North-West Highlands, which includes the Scottish mainland north-west of the Great Glen together with the Isle of Skye, is the last area in Britain which can truthfully be described as genuinely wild. This guide describes 24 of the finest walks in this gloriously lonely, often breathtakingly beautiful landscape. It is aimed not at climbers, who are already well catered for, but at walkers who wish to enjoy the wild country and are prepared to tackle rough terrain, but do not necessarily have the skills and equipment that may be needed on the higher hills.

The walks, ranging from 6 to 17 miles (9.5 to 27 km) are mostly circular and all begin and end at sites with space for parking; most are also accessible by public transport. There is a complete description of each route together with 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey mapping marked with points of interest along the route which is highlighted in yellow. Some of the routes run through land owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The landscapes through which they pass range from the tightly packed hills and glens of Ardgour, Moidart and Knoydart in the south to the wild moors of the extreme north, over which a few peaks like Suilven, Canisp and Quinag tower in splendid isolation.

Chris Townsend guides his readers with an infectious enthusiasm, sound advice and knowledgeable observations on the wildlife and geology of the Highlands. The book also includes a glossary of Gaelic and Scots words and a Useful Information section listing organisations and websites that may be helpful to visiting walkers. There are full colour photographs throughout the book.

Scotland's Highlands and Islands contain some of the finest mountain scenery in Europe and by far the best way to experience this beauty is on foot. This comprehensive guide contains 60 day walks selected for all abilities graded for difficulty, terrain and strenuousness. There are walks from every corner of the region and ranging from well known peaks such as Ben Nevis and Cairn Gorm to lesser know hills such as Suilven and Clisham. Some of the walks have been linked to form multi-day treks such as the Great Traverse.

The book begins with a comprehensive introduction providing all the practical information you need to plan and walk in the Highlands. Public transport information is provided for all access points. Each walk has details of walking times, tricky junctions, places to stay and eat and points of interest. Walk entries begin with an overview of the route, which is followed by detailed route finding instructions. Each walk also has a highly detailed sketch map at a scale of 1:45,000 annotated with notes at every point where there may be difficulty or the route direction unclear. This book is also much more than just a walking guide as it includes guides to 62 gateway towns and villages; what to see on rainy days, where to stay, where to eat; pubs, hotels, B&B's, campsites, bunkhouses and hostels.

The guide is divided into the following sections: Loch Lomond and the Southern Highlands; Glen Coe and Glen Nevis; Central Highlands; Cairngorms and Eastern Highlands; Sunart to Knoydart; Glen Shiel to Torridon and Fisherfield; Far North; The Islands.

This guide explores some of the best walking locations in the Scottish Highlands. It includes 50 themed walks of between 2 and 10 miles, each with fascinating background reading. A couple of summit walks are included, but mostly these are coastal walks, forest walks, walks that go around rather than up the hill or through the passes or along the great rivers. There are clear, easy-to-follow route descriptions, including detailed sketch maps, for every walk.

The Cairngorm range covers about 300 square miles, which makes it the most extensive mountainous area to be found in Britain. Geologically it belongs to the Grampian mountain system, the massive which lies at the heart of the Scottish Highlands. The Cairngorms rise imperiously to the east of the River Spey, their tops often snow covered and veiled in mist. The River Dee flows from the eastern side of the Cairngorms and separates Lochnagar from the other main summits. High level routes in this guide should not be attempted in the winter months and even in summer the weather can pose problems on the high Cairngorm plateau, so heed the sound advice given in this guide.

Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed 1:25,000 scale maps from Ordnance Survey and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations. The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Details are included for useful organisations, refreshment stops and places to leave your car.

This is a walking guide to the best Munros in the Cairngorms National Park, hand picked by experienced hillwalker Chris Townsend. Small enough to fit in your pocket, and packed with essential information, it contains unique 3-D relief maps, detailed route summaries with access, distances, ascents and walking times, along with introductions to the history and topography of the Cairngorms. All eleven walks are graded for difficulty. The ratings, which are fully explained in the guide, reflect distance, navigation difficulty and terrain, and assume good weather conditions. Twelve of the finest Munros are included in the guide and, because the approaches from different sides vary enormously some Munros appear in more than one walk. In addition to the excellent relief maps there are also some stunning colour photographs of this spectacular region.

The route titles are as follows: Cairn Gorm; Ben Macdui; Braeriach; Bynack More; Beinn Mheadhoin; Braeriach, sgor an Lochain Uaine and Cairn Toul; Derry Cairngorm; Sgor an Lochain Uaine, Cairn Toul and The Devil's Point; Ben Macdui and Carn a'Mhaim; Beinn a'Bhuird; Ben Avon.

In over 100 walks this full colour guidebook explores the Munro summits of the Cairngorm region and the smaller hills outside the main range. For the adventurous it offers the best of the area's rocky scrambles and the classic through routes. For others there are easy sandy trails along the banks of the great rivers Spey, Nethy and Dee. It covers the main Cairngorm range between Speyside and Deeside, as well as Lochnagar. Routes to all the region's 23 Munro summits are also included.

There are colour photographs on almost every page of this well designed guide. The low and mid-level routes are illustrated with OS 1:50,000 Landranger mapping and there are detailed colour sketch maps for many summit routes. For each route starting grid references, distance, ascent, estimated time and terrain details are given together with a level of difficulty scale. Comprehensive route finding instructions are complemented by additional information about the route and places of interest all laid out in an attractive and easy to use format. The guide divides the region into seven sections as follows: Aviemore and the Spey; Glen More; Badenoch; Glenlivet and Tomintoul; Donside; Deeside Braemar; Balmoral and Lochnagar.

This is a walking guide to the best Munros in Glen Coe, hand picked by experienced hillwalker Chris Townsend. Small enough to fit in your pocket, and packed with essential information, it contains unique 3-D relief maps, detailed route summaries with access, distances, ascents and walking times, along with introductions to the history and topography of the Glen Coe hills. All eight walks are graded for difficulty. The ratings, which are fully explained in the guide, reflect distance, navigation difficulty and terrain, and assume good weather conditions. In addition to the excellent relief maps there are also some stunning colour photographs of this spectacular region. The mountains of Glen Coe are some of the most impressive and beautiful in Scotland and the walks in this guide explore seventeen of the finest hills in Glen Coe, neighbouring Glen Etive and the Black Mount, all of them Monros.

The walks in this book have a character of their own within the Scottish context. This is Scotland's fjord land, a drowned coastline with long sea arms wending far inland, where roads came only in the 18th century. The walks range, uniquely, from sea level to the highest summit in Britain, so offer a fascinating variety in terms of length, style and demands on stamina and skill. The guide seeks to give a selection of walks of all grades, to reward all interests.

Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed 1:25,000 scale maps from Ordnance Survey and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations. The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Details are included for useful organisations, refreshment stops and places to leave your car. Although we always recommend taking the appropriate OS Explorer or Outdoor Leisure map on all walks, in the case of the Pathfinder Guides this mapping is included, with the route clearly outlined in yellow.

The magnificent, wild and beautiful region of Torridon in the Scottish Highlands offers a great deal of potential for the walker. This guide outlines expeditions ranging from low-level and fairly easy walks (graded in severity) to ascent routes to the summits of Torridon's best 32 mountains, which include nine Munros. The routes chosen avoid undue exposure, making this a useful guide both for ordinary holiday makers wishing to extend their experience of wild country and for experienced hillwalkers wishing to traverse very wild and rough terrain.

The guide describes 52 walks divided into 11 easy routes, 11 long and high-level routes and 32 mountain ascents over 2,000 feet. There is a full introduction with information on access points. The guide is illustrated with the author's own artwork, sketch maps and black and white photographs. The guide gives distances and estimated walking times. Whilst the routes are well described we recommend taking an OS Explorer map on these walks in view of the rugged nature of the terrain.
