Book description
The guide describes 34 mountain walks in Scotland's far-west peninsula
- including Morvern, Ardnamurchan and Ardgour - and on the island of
Mull. Mull, Scotland's third largest isle, and for bard Dugold MacPhail
'Of Isles the Fairest', has something for everyone. Those with interests
in archaeology, geology and history will be captivated; naturalists will
be fascinated by its flora and fauna; but its universal magic is
tranquillity, while affording you all the joys of walking in the great
outdoors. Across the narrow Sound of Mull, lies Morvern with Ardgour and
Ardnamurchan. Here the enchantment continues to develop. At its farthest
reaches, approached by a narrow road meandering through the finest
scenery, is the most westerly part of the British mainland, Ardnamurchan
Point. The allure of Mull, Morvern, Ardnamurchan and Ardgour is
outstanding, and once you have seen them, you will want to visit
Scotland's far west time after time. Denis Brook and Phil Hinchliffe,
both retired electrical engineers, were born and educated in
Huddersfield. They have walked extensively in the north of England and
the Highlands of Scotland. They have trekked in Nepal, Peru and India
and made ascents of Mts Kenya, Kilimanjaro and Stok Kangri. They are the
authors of three other Cicerone guides.
