Although not high or remote, the mountains of Scotland have presented climbers with a considerable challenge, in both summer and winter conditions, for over a hundred years. The Edge, which accompanies the BBC-TV series of the same name, records the diversity of Scottish mountaineering and reveals the rich character of many of those pioneers who, over the years, have put Scotland firmly on the map of world mountaineering. Fully illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, The Edge is a tribute to some of the century's greatest mountaineers, and to the excitement, the joy and the intense beauty of climbing in the glorious highlands of Scotland.
