This is a series of guide-books with a difference. A walk is especially enjoyable if it has a real point to it, so each of the routes in this book will take you to a place of interest well worth visiting in its own right. The routes are simple to follow, and most are circular, starting from a car-parking spot. Each is backed up by a clear map. The point of the walk is described and usually illustrated. The books are designed to slip into the pocket of a jacket or rucksack.The eighteen walks in this book, spread throughout Northern Scotland, take the walker through some of Britain's most beautiful and spectacular scenery. The walks' objectives vary from the dramatic Linn of Dee to the quiet seclusion of the Lost Valley of Glencoe, from the spectacular Bruar Falls to the secret location of the Colonel's Bed.The author, a professional writer and broadcaster specialising in outdoor subjects, is editor of Climber magazine. A keen walker, climber and skier, he describes the Scottish Highlands as one of the last remaining wilderness gems in Europe. His passion for his country's history is reflected in the many fascinating anecdotes in this book.
