Scotland’s towns and cities are packed with historical and scenic interest, and all of them have wonderful stories to tell. Well-known outdoors writer Roger Smith has gathered 30 fascinating urban walks, some from his popular column in The Herald, covering Glasgow and the West, into a volume that is sure to interest a wide audience.

A perfect antidote for restless weekends and holidays at home, as well as providing tourists with fantastic sightseeing opportunities, there are walks to suit all moods, covering routes throughout Glasgow, including the bustling Merchant City, the vibrant West End and the scenic Queen’s Park as well as in towns as diverse as Ayr, Biggar, Irvine, Rothesay and Dumfries.

Roger Smith is an experienced walker and writer. He was the editor of the walkers’ magazine The Great Outdoors for nine years and has written more than a dozen books on outdoor pursuits.
