The guidebook describes walking routes up all 109 Corbetts north of the Great Glen (Scotland's 2500-2999ft mountains). From Ardgour to Cape Wrath including Knoydart, Applecross and Torridon, as well as Mull, Rum, Harris and Skye. For walkers who want interesting routes up these spectacular and lesser-known hills. Part of a 2-volume set.
A guidebook presenting 90 routes visiting 109 of Scotland’s Corbetts (mountains between 2500 and 2999ft). Covering the area north of the Great Glen, including the Hebrides, the walks require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling and river crossings.

The routes range from 7 to 41km (4–25 miles) and include hikes around Knoydart, Glen Affric, Torridon, Strathcarron and the Isle of Skye.

Clear route description illustrated with 1:100,000 mapping
Difficulty notes for each route detailing terrain, challenges and hazards
