The East Highland Way

Shortlisted for Outdoor Book of the Year; Kevin Langan was shortlisted for Outdoor Personality of the Year in the The Great Oudoors Magazine Awards 2012.

About the Book: 

The East Highland Way is a detailed and descriptive walking guide to the route which was developed by Kevin Langan in 2007. Beginning in Fort William and culminating in Aviemore, the trail forms a new link route between the northern end of the West Highland Way and the southern point in Fort William, making this trek a rewarding challenge for seasoned distance walkers and amateurs alike. Not simply an illustrated route description, Langan's guide also details the plethora of wildlife to be spotted and explores the sites of historic interest along the way in each section of the walk.

Reviews: 

There is a real need for alternative routes and The East Highland Way offers not only an alternative, but a highly attractive and challenging walk in its own right. CAMERON McNEISH

Because this is a largely unwaymarked route, the quality of the guidance on offer is much more important than it would be on a waymarked route, and it is fair to say that Kevin Langan has produced a route guide that includes everything you could possibly want within a very small and beautifully produced package. Despite the book being small enough to fit into your pocket it packs in a wealth of excellent colour photography alongside maps produced specifically to show the route, and detailed instructions that read as if they have actually been produced on the ground and at the time, and which helpfully highlight possible navigational pitfalls.This really is an outstanding little book which can be recommended without reservation. UNDISCOVERED SCOTLAND
