This work tells the story of explorations and ascents in the Scottish Highlands in the days before mountaineering became a popular sport - when Jacobites, bandits, poachers and illicit distillers traditionally used the mountains as sanctuary.
In this new book on pre-mountaineering ascents and near ascents in the Highlands, we have at last a work which does justice to those who lived and worked, travelled and fought in the Highlands before Walter Scott. - Professor Bruce Lenman, from his foreward
...will give you much to think about next time you’re up that mountain. - David Newnham, The Guardian
To have produced a work of such significance that is also fun to read is an achievementHIGH
