Walking Scotland's Best Small Mountains

Many of Scotland-s finest mountains are overlooked by walkers, purely because they lack a few metres in height. The aim of this guidebook is to champion the best of them, selected for character, location, views, historical significance, technical difficulty or simply beauty. From the surreal and striking landscape of The Storr in Skye to the imposing and rugged ridges of Quinag in Sutherland, this guide is, in its own way, an antidote to Munro-bagging. This book covers seven of Scotland's most scenic areas, from the Sutherland and the far north to Arrochar and the Trossachs. Suitable for a wide range of abilities, there are great small mountains to explore. The 40 ascents described are mainly circular with optional variations also suggested to give you the flexibility to extend or short cut as you wish, and all are illustrated with photographs and OS mapping
