Cicerone Scottish Wild Country Backpacking by Peter Edwards, David Lintern and Stefan Durkacz

30 wild and challenging backpacking routes in Scotland.

The book also covers equipment, access, weather, safety and first aid.

Seasons: Most of these routes are great for walking year-round, though of course seasonal adjustments need to be made in terms of equipment and difficulties encountered.

Difficulty: The routes included here are best-suited to seasoned walkers with some experience of walking in the Scottish Highlands. A good degree of fitness, navigational competence and self-reliance are required.
