But the popularity of Munro-bagging has left many of Scotland’s finest mountains overlooked by walkers.
This book sets out to champion some of those smaller peaks, selected for their character, location, views and sheer beauty. From the surreal landscape of The Storr in Skye to the imposing and rugged ridges of Quinag in Sutherland, this guide is, in its own way, an antidote to Munro-bagging.
