Synopsis
The Isle of Skye occupies an almost mythical place in the minds of many people. This latest pocket guide features 40 of the best walks in this popular area in an attractive and accessible format.
Skye is still rich in undiscovered treasures, from coastal caves and arches, ruined villages cruelly cleared of their inhabitants, to fossilised dinosaur footprints and a rich array of wildlife. Written by Skye residents Paul and Helen Webster, these walks will reveal both the wild and gentler sides of this dramatic landscape. Includes walks on Raasay.
Romantic castles, magnificent seascapes, the alpine peaks of the Cuillin Ridge, marching pip bands, scattered white crofters' cottages and a bloody history: the island has all these and more.

External Reviews
"This book is part of a series of books that I have found to be very useful in finding and planning walks. The details are excellent and walks graded. This book covers an area that I love to walk in and I have found the book to be an excellent starting point and companion." - Amazon Reviews.
" . . . great handy pocket book of walks & in good detail & interesting history, well worth the money." - Ebay Review.
"Just the right book for someone like us, family with a 6 year old boy who's a good walker. We were using this together with an OS map of Skye to get a better idea of the terrain and difficulty of walks. Features most popular walks of up to 3-4 hours and lots of beautiful walks off the beaten track. Each walk includes some interesting facts about the history or geography of the area and a nice photograph. Easy to follow. Very handy little book to bring along on the walks, weighs next to nothing, small and compact. And all at a very reasonable price!" - Amazon Review.
