Cicerone Scotland's Best Small Mountains

Many of Scotland's finest mountains are neglected by walkers, purely because they lack a few feet in height. The aim of this new guidebook is to champion the best of them, selected for character, location, views, historical significance, technical difficulty or simply beauty. From the surreal and striking landscape of The Storr in Skye to the imposing and technical ridges of Beinn Dearg Mor in the northwest, this guide is an antidote to Munro-bagging. This book covers eight of Scotland's most scenic areas, from the Sutherland and the far north to the Borders. Suitable for a wide range of abilities, there are great small mountains to explore.The 40 ascents described are mainly circular with optional variations also suggested to give you the flexibility to extend or short cut as you wish, and all are illustrated with color photographs and OS mapping.
