Book description
Guidebook to walks and scrambles on the Isle of Skye, in the Hebrides,
just off the northwest Scottish mainland visits all corners of the
island as well as the renowned Cuillin. Updated using digital mapping
and GPS technology, and taking account of changes brought about by
recent forestry work, it includes demanding days as tough as anything in
Britain in wonderfully isolated situations over high mountains and
strange pinnacles, past lonely lochans, along cliffs and through
forests. Skye has some of the most awe-inspiring scenery of Scotland's
many islands - a place of whose surface man has barely scratched, with
almost supernatural charisma. Covered here are 87 walks and scrambles in
Sleat and South-East Skye, Strath, Minginish, Duirinish, Waternish and
Trotternish with a selection of routes for all abilities, from novice
walker to experienced scrambler. Each route description highlights local
historical and geological points of interest along the routes and is
illustrated with OS mapping and colour photographs. A writer and
photographer since 1978, Terry Marsh specialises in the outdoors, the
countryside, walking and travel worldwide. He is the author of over 45
books, including the award-winning Cicerone guides to the Northern Coast
to Coast Walk, The Dales Way, Walking on the Isle of Man and The West
Highland Way.
