While the tourist boards tend to perpetuate the myths of kilt and bagpipe and the Loch Ness monster, most people visit Scotland for the reality - for the beauty and great diversity of its scenery, to discover remote lochs, atmospheric glens and dramatic mountains. The 11 car tours (with accompanying maps), 12 picnics and 30 walks (with 1:50,000 topo maps) in this book will allow you to discover the very best of the Highlands, whether driving, out on a short stroll or committed to an energetic mountain hike. Written by Stephen Whitehorne, one of Scotland's best-known photographer/authors, this book brings to life some of the most breathtaking scenery in the British Isles. The photographic images in this book - all of calendar quality - will whet your appetite and remain a wonderful souvenir of your holiday in the Highlands - one of Europe's last great wilderness areas, where genuine solitude can be sought and where the luxuries of silence and space abound. There is an on-line update service for any route-change information.
