The Isle of Skye - A Walker's Guidebook

The 85 walks in this guidebook visit all corners of the Isle of Skye, off Scotland's west coast, including the renowned Cuillin. Walks range from simple outings not far from civilisation to rugged, hard and demanding days, as tough as anything in Britain, often in isolated situations. The walks in this guidebook will suit all tastes, and embrace high mountains, lonely lochans, coastal cliffs and forests.

Year-round walking, although in winter snow and ice can often turn an easy walk into a full-scale mountain expedition. Midges in the summer from June to October!

1:50,000: All the walks in this book can be found on Ordnance Survey® Landranger Sheets 23: North Skye; Sheet 32: South Skye; or Sheet 33: Loch Alsh, Glen Shiel and surrounding area.

1:25,000: Ordnance Survey in recent years has been beavering away producing their new and excellent Explorer series of maps. These will replace the Outdoor Leisure Map No. 8 and all the Pathfinder maps appropriate to Skye, which will be progressively withdrawn. By the beginning of 2003 (approximately), the whole of Skye will be covered by Explorer maps, and you will need the following sheets 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412 and 413.
