Scotland`s Best Small Mountains

Kirstie Shirra’™s Cicerone guide to Scotland’™s Best Mountains features profiles and ascent information of 40 mountains with peaks under 3000ft across the country, illustrated with Ordnance Survey mapping and presented with a range of routes to be undertaken, as well as alternatives for varying abilities.The introduction contains details of history, wildlife, logistics, weather, winter walking and mountain safety, and accommodation options. Sections then follow, broken down into seven regional groupings: Sutherland and the Far North, Torridon and the Northwest, Lochaber and the West, The Great Glen to the Cairngorms, Glencoe and Central Scotland, Arrochar and the Trossachs and The Islands. Appendixes contain a bibliography, glossary, useful contacts and route summary details. The book sets out to champion some of the smaller, lesser known peaks not to have made it on to Sir Hugo Munro’™s bagging list. Locations have been selected for their character, situation, views and beauty. Inspired by the very existence of Munro-bagging, the guide is in essence its very antidote.
