About this Book:

 I used to think a ‘proper walk’ meant climbing up a big mountain... 

 While other guides plot intrepid mountaineering missions, workouts and route marches, this book returns to the core of what walking really means. It is unhurried, leisurely and, most importantly, an ‘act of travelling’ – an experience, not a box to be ticked. 

Highland Walks provides details of environmentally-conscious and budget-friendly outings for all the family. Each walk is hand-picked to be accessible from the public transport network between Perth and Inverness. Walk times and difficulty ratings are set out for every route, alongside interesting facts for curious minds and key landmarks to spot. 

Once you learn to lose yourself without ever leaving the path, every stroll can become an adventure. 

About the Author:

NICK DRAINEY has been hillwalking since his parents took him up the Lake District fells as a small boy in the 1970s. His career as a journalist took him to Scotland in 1998 and a love of the country’s landscapes grew into writing about walking. Now he is trying to instil the same love of the outdoors in his own children.

Since leaving university he has been a journalist, formerly with the Press Association, Scotsman and The Times, among others, and now as a freelance concentrating on the outdoors and rural issues for newspapers, magazines and radio. Find more of his work at theviewfromthehill.co.uk
