A handbook covering the finest walks, scrambles, climbs and ski tours in
Scotland, with its variety of wild landscapes ranging from the Southern
Uplands to the great granite plateaus of the Cairngorms and jagged aretes of

mountain lover needs for any activity.

Scotland has a huge range of mountain landscapes, from the Southern Uplands’
rolling hills to the Cairngorms’ arctic plateaus to the jagged peaks of
Torridon and Skye. 283 majestic summits rise above 3000ft – the famous Munros
– and below them are spectacular lochs, forests and rivers. The various
scenery has something for everyone: massive cliffs for rock and ice climbs,
long high ridges for hillwalking, rolling plateaus for ski touring and forests
and glens for long-distance walks. There is ample opportunity for wild camps
as well as other accommodation options.
