Walking The Isle of Skye

Graded walks and scrambles throughout Skye, including the Cuillin

The guidebook to 87 walks and scrambles on the Isle of Skye, in the Hebrides,
visits all corners of the island as well as the renowned Cuillin. Updated
using digital mapping and GPS technology, and taking account of changes
brought about by recent forestry work, it includes demanding days as tough as
anything in Britain in wonderfully isolated situations over high mountains and
strange pinnacles, past lonely lochans, along cliffs and through forests.

Skye has some of the most awe-inspiring scenery of Scotland’s many islands – a
place of whose surface man has barely scratched, with almost supernatural
charisma. Covered here are 87 walks and scrambles in Sleat and South-East
Skye, Strath, Minginish, Duirinish, Waternish and Trotternish with a selection
of routes for all abilities, from novice walker to experienced scrambler.

Each route description highlights local historical and geological points of
interest along the routes and is illustrated with OS mapping and colour
photographs.
