In and Around Aberdeen describes 25 walks in the city and the countryside. The book is aimed at visitors and Aberdonians alike, as local people will find that it throws new light on familiar scenes. It takes you to little known corners of Aberdeen and to the hills in and near the city. It visits the Sands of Forvie, teeming with bird life, and heads for Bennachie and the eerie ruins of Gight Castle. Whether it is history, scenery or good-walking that you are looking for, - they all come together in this book.
The 25 Walks books are practical guides and attractive souvenirs. Written by experienced authors, they can be used with confidence. The carefully selected local walks are accompanied by easy-to-use maps and colour photographs.
