A guidebook to 87 walks and scrambles on the Isle of Skye. Covering the largest island in the Inner Hebrides, the walks are suitable for most walkers, with shorter routes alongside plenty of more challenging, full-day hikes.
The routes range from 2 to 23km (1–15 miles) and can be combined to create longer days out. Eight routes include scrambles, which are clearly indicated in the book.
- 1:50, 000 OS maps are included for each route
- Detailed information on facilities, accommodation, history and geology
- Easy access from Portree and Broadford
- Highlights include routes in the Cuillin and Munro ascents
