Cicerone World's Mountain Ranges
This book is a resource covering the finest walks, treks and climbs to be found in Scotland. From the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands to the great granite plateaus of the Cairngorms to the jagged peaks of Torridon and the Cuillin hills on the Isle of Skye, Scotland has a rich variety of wild landscapes and terrain that is perfect for many activities. Scotland's lochs, forests and rivers offer spectacular scenery and a tranquility that visitors embrace time and time again. Author Chris Townsend was the first person to complete a continuous round of all the Scottish Munros, 283 summits that rise above 3000ft. He has also walked across the Scottish mountains from coast to coast 14 times, and is the President of the Mountaineering Council of Scotland. Superb photography and an exceptional level of detail, this book is an ideal all-embracing guide for the mountain adventurer.
