All the routes described are delineated on sections of the Ordnance Survey Landranger 1:50,000 maps: 19 (Gairloch & Ullapool), 24 (Raasay & Applecross) and 25 (Glen Carron & Glen Affric), and the appropriate sheet should be carried on every walk. OS Explorer 1:25,000 maps 433 (Torridon – Beinn Eighe & Liathach) and 428 (Kyle of Lochalsh, Plockton & Applecross) also cover the region and are available in laminated form. Harvey’s Superwalker map 1:25,000 Torridon includes Slioch, Beinn Eighe, Liathach and Beinn Alligin. The sketches of some parts of the routes in this book are only intended to add detail not revealed by the maps. All routes described in the text are shown in orange (in many instances these overlie the broken lines indicating stalkers’ paths on the OS maps). Though several routes may appear on the same map each is referred to separately in the text. I have adopted the mountain and place names as printed on the OS 1:50.000 sheets, although there are some inconsistencies. I have also offered approximate phonetic spellings and English translations for certain of the Gaelic names as they arise in the text.
