The Munros Vol 1 - Southern, Central and Western Highlands

The first of two guidebooks to walking Scotland's Munros covers the southern, central and western highlands, Glencoe, Lochaber and Mull, and details routes for these 139 exciting and challenging mountains. Volume 2 covers north of the Great Glen and the Cairngorms.

Seasons

Year-round mountain walking, but midges may hold you back in summer, and if snow’s not your thing then avoid winter.

Centres

Fort William, Glencoe, Killin, Pitlochrie, Blair Atholl, Oban and many more. Camping and through treks too.

Difficulty

Many Munros are straightforward walks, but some have exciting ridge walking and scrambling. Aonach Eagach is covered in this volume. Normal Scottish mountain challenges and precautions.

Must See

The mountains rising above the valley cloud with views clear across Scotland, the Arete clearing on the Ben as you cross it, the first refreshment at the end of the day.
