The islands off the west coast of Scotland contain some of the most spectacular and unspoilt scenery in the whole of Europe, celebrated not only for their extraordinary natural beauty but also for their unique history.
After short preliminary sections on the islands, Stephen Whitehorne introduces the main points of interest (scenery, wildlife, human settlements, etc.) and goes on to provide essential information for the walker - OS references, distances, terrain, convenient stops and various options. As well as sections on natural history and geology, and Gaelic language and culture, the book also includes indispensable practical information on weather, local transport, accommodation, access and safety considerations, thus enabling visitors to make the very most of their visit to the islands.
Islands covered in this volume:
Arran, Islay, Jura, Colonsay and Oronsay, Kerrera, Lismore, Mull, Iona, Staffa, Tiree, Coll.
