Product Description
Product Description
The Isle of Skye (or Ant-Eilean Sgitheanach in its native Gaelic tongue) occupies an almost mythical place in the minds of many Scots. Romantic castles, magnificent sea-scapes, the alpine peaks of the Cuillin Ridge, marching pipe bands, scattered white crofters' cottages and a bloody history; the island has all these and more. This book features 40 moderate walks that take in much of this celebrated landscape, but reveal hidden gems too. In spite of its popularity Skye is still rich in undiscovered treasures, from coastal caves and arches, ruined villages cruelly cleared of their inhabitants, to fossilised dinosaur footprints and a rich array of wildlife. Written by Skye residents Paul and Helen Webster, these walks will reveal both the wild and gentler sides of this dramatic landscape.

Format:Paperback
There are plenty of books with walks on the Isle of Skye but we haven't come across one like this - it's exactly what we've been waiting for - with walks for those of us who are not interested in or capable of "Munro Bagging" but want to experience and enjoy nearly all the island has to offer. With fantastic photos which really give a feel for each walk and great walk descriptions, this book has given us the confidence to explore so many parts of Skye and also Raasay, knowing that the walks will generally take us 1-4 hours, not an exhausting day long hike in the mountains!

Format:Paperback
An excellent little walking guide, especially for those - like me - wanting to explore as many parts of the Isle of Skye as possible in a visit. Arranged roughly by 'peninsular', there are walks ranging from 45 minutes to a few hours, even a day. We did at least one from each section and they were all straightforward and, of course, beautiful!
The photos are enticing - making you want to try each one - and walks, features, etc. well described.

Excellent guide with wonderful descriptions and outstanding pictures. A must have for any visit to Skye. I love that it just slips in your pocket and you are ready to go. Great work Helen and Paul, look forward to more of the same.
