This isn't a stuff it in your pocket and use it on the hill type of guide. Rather, it is a sit at home and use it for reference and inspiration book. The information is concise and clear, as are the sketch maps of routes. The photos are the best part, though, showing the Highlands and Islands in all seasons and all their glory.

Tremendous.
Read slowly over the last couple of weeks ahead of a lenghty trip up to the Highlands.
Needless to say, this will be coming with me. As well as the other Scottish Mountaineering Club books, The Corbetts And Other Scottish Hills and The Grahams & The Donalds.
They make a superb addition to the bookcase, and are beautifully designed books.

Super comprehensive. Great for planning. Easy to review and understand.

A Revised and Reprinted version of this book has come out in 2013. It updates & supersedes all previous editions and is well worth having in your possession if you're a Munro-basher.

Essential reading if you are walking in Scotland, but very difficult to navigate. Would be handy if the map showing regions had roads on it.
