We are closed for the bank Holiday weekend – we will be here again on Tuesday 30th May from 9am. You can of course order online on the website. Hope the weather lasts for us all!

Welcome to our new blog!

Those of you who have visited our site before will notice that it has undergone something of a face lift. It’s a little Christmas gift to ourselves, and we hope you like the new, modern feel.

The site has been redesigned to provide more information on our products and services. We are still working on it and will be streamlining our categories to improve usability to help you to find titles and place orders more quickly.

We also have this rather nice new blog, on which we’ll keep you updated with new ranges, key titles, trade news, events and special offers.

For trade customers who already have an online account, your log in details should not have changed.

If you have any queries about how to use the new site, please don’t hesitate to contact our Sales Office on 01506 855955 or at sales@lomondbooks.com.

Happy browsing!

We’re really rather excited about this new product that’s just come in from Top Munro – an ideal gift for walking enthusiasts and avid Munro-baggers! Based on a simple Trumps format, this set of game cards offers trumping criteria including height, vertical gain, route distance, popularity and difficulty.

 This set features 30 popular ‘classic’ Munros on quality, plastic coated cards. Full instructions are included and each card has a photograph of the Munro, its six key facts, a potential route to climb it and, of course, the pub you can visit afterwards.

We also have nifty counter packs for these to make an eye-catching display for your customers.

Pack them in a rucksack, play them in a bothy!

We’re thrilled to have a new updated edition of one of our all-time bestselling titles in stock – Cameron McNeish’s The Munros: Scotland’s Highest Mountains – a book which has sold more than 175,000 copies since its first publication!

The appeal of the country’s tallest mountains continues to attract eager climbers every year, trying to bag their first Munro or working their way through the list to bag them all. But one of the dangers of the Munro bagging phenomenon is that many walkers set out to climb these great hills without actually getting to know them. This book is intended to introduce Munro climbers to different aspects of the hills’ character in a more holistic way, not only as a guidebook buy as an essential reference book to be used in planning the days, weekends or weeks spent in one of Europe’s most varied and remarkable mountain landscapes.

This book offers a choice of routes up all of the Munros, often combining several hills into one route to make for a satisfying day out. This also serves the purpose of spreading the load on the hill by suggesting more adventurous routes away from the popular ‘honeypot’ paths.

Stunning colour photography throughout portrays the grandeur and beauty of the hills, complemented by graphic route maps.

Following recent revisions to the Munro list (as it seems our mountains have a habit of shrinking…!) this new edition reflects recent changes to the classification list, and is available now!

It’s show-time again! We’re packing up for Scotland’s Trade Fair Autumn where you will find us on stand J16 with our Christmas ranges for 2016.
