The main thrust of this extended volume is to offer a comprehensive and well-balanced guide to the scenic charms and unequalled walking opportunities of the Isle of Mull.

After visits to Iona, Staffa and the Fishnish Isles, the reader is lured to head for the windy isles of Coll and Tiree, to discover that they also have great scope for walkers.

For a modest price, readers can select from routes ranging from the simple stroll to the exhilarating high-level ridge walk. All walks are delightfully annotated with comments about the flora and fauna, with beautiful accompanying illustrations.

The books also give informative explanations of the history of the places described in the walks and are an excellent guide to the most interesting places to visit in the area.
