101 Best Hill Walks in the Scottish Highlands & Islands(Fort

A highly innovative new book that will appeal to experienced climbers and beginners alike. The author, who has unrivalled knowledge of the Scottish hills, has chosen the 101 walks with great care. The book is divided into six sections: southern Highlands, central Highlands, Cairngorms and north-east Highlands, western Highlands, north-west Highlands and the Islands. All of Scotland's best loved and most iconic hills are included: among them Ben Lomond, Ben Nevis, the Cobbler, Ben Lui, Bidean nam Bian, Buichaille Etive Mor, Ring of Steall, Lochnagar, the Saddle, Ladhar Bheinn, Suilven, Arkle, the Cuillins and even Conachair on remote and mysterious St Kilda. A particular strength of the book is the author's very detailed description of the walks, the product of thirty years' walking experience in the Highlands and Islands. Cornwallis, a scientist by training, also provides fascinating insights into the geology, flora, fauna and wildlife walkers are likely to encounter as they wend their way to the summit.
