The essential guide to experiencing Scotland's truly dramatic, extensive and ever-varying coastline on foot
Scotland and its islands encompass more than 10,000 miles of breathtaking coastline. This title outlines 100 routes that take in the quaint fishing ports, long sun-bleached strands and vast golf links of the east coast; and the grand Gothic cliffs, natural arches and storm-tossed seastacks that comprise much of the fractured edge of the Atlantic.
If you are keen to explore the six thousand miles of coastline that Scotland has to offer, then this is the perfect guide for you. Complete with maps and illustrations and covering walks ranging from gentle strolls, family friendly outings and full-scale hikes, this is the perfect handbook for any Scottish adventure!
