Highland Walks

Blurb:

 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.
