Great Scottish Walks by Helen and Paul Webster, founders of Walkhighlands, is a comprehensive guide to the 26 best long-distance hiking trails in Scotland.
Whether you’re keen to experience classic trails such as the West Highland Way, discover more accessible trails like the Forth & Clyde Union Canal Towpath in the Central Belt or yearn for the remote wilderness of walks like the Cape Wrath Trail and Skye Trail, this book offers inspiration for long-distance walkers of all experience levels who want to challenge themselves on Scotland’s greatest trails (and even those who wish to tackle the trails as day walks or in shorter sections).
The walks are illustrated with stunning photography, showcasing the incredibly varied Scottish mainland and island landscapes that you can discover, from the remote mountains and glens, coastal sea stacks and beaches, to the lush farmland and canals of the lowlands. There are countless towns, villages and historical sites that you’ll want to stop and visit along the way, rich in Scotland’s heritage and culture. This book provides everything you need to inspire you to explore further, including an overview of what to expect from each route, logistical information about tackling the routes over a number of days, overview mapping, and practical information about access, public transport, accommodation and local amenities.
With Great Scottish Walks, let Helen and Paul equip you to take on your own long-distance adventure and discover the amazing trails that Scotland has to offer.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Helen and Paul Webster share a passion for walking and wild places. In 2003–2004 they undertook a life-changing 4, 000-mile continuous backpacking trip across Europe. Following their return, they quit their careers to begin a new life evangelising for Scotland’s spectacular outdoors – especially the Highlands and Islands. Together they set up Walkhighlands, a free online guide and forum which has become the busiest walkers’ website in the UK. They have also written twenty guidebooks to various areas of Scotland, including Scottish Island Bagging, and in 2018 Paul won the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.
