1:50000: 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.

1:25000: Of greater use to walkers on Skye are Ordnance Survey Explorer maps, and for the whole of Skye you will need the following sheets 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412 and 413 (www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk).

Also at a scale of 1:25000 are two maps in the Superwalker series produced by HARVEY Maps (www.harveymaps.co.uk), one of The Cuillin, which covers an area from Glen Brittle in the west to Broadford in the east, and the other of Storr and Trotternish, which covers almost the whole of Trotternish. These HARVEY maps are produced on waterproof material.
