Product Description
Product Description
Approaching the eastern part of central Scotland, where the Grampians dominate the horizon, it appears at first glance to be mountain country. In fact much of the area is low-lying, with flat woodland and agricultural land bordered by gentle, rounded hills and an attractive North Sea coastline. Perthshire has enough lochs to vie with Cumbria's Lake District. Dunsinane Hill and the site of Macbeth's castle can be seen on the Sidlaw Hills in Strathmore, Angus, and there are also coastal walks around the Fife peninsula, with its waterfront villages, sheltered harbours and sandy beaches.

My friends and I have been using these books for years. They are great for the gentler walks through to tougher, more strenuous walks. I have always found them very detailed and the walks worth the effort. My only drawback is now and again they understate things. If the book tells you the ground is slightly waterlogged take a canoe.

I have a collection of the Pathfinder books and would recommend all, with a caveat for one, to anyone thinking of walking in the areas covered by the guides.
The walks are split up into three categories - easy, medium and more strenuous - and are located on a map of the area within the first couple of pages to give an idea of travel time and ways to get there.
The individual chapters on each walk start with a fact box that includes things such as resume of the walk, GPS coordinates, overall distance walked, time taken to walk and parking places. Each walk also contains a highlighted route on a colour OS map along with some very detailed descriptions about each stage that the walk is broken up into.
The only thing that I would watch out for is that the back cover has a map that suggests that the walks in the book do not include the East Neuk of Fife (Anstruther, Crail, Pitenween etc). However, contrary to the map on the back there is a rather good walk included for this popular tourist area.
Overall, this is an excellent guide with excellent, varied walks for all ages and abilities and for less than £10 it's a bargain. Thoroughly recommended, especially Walk 26 a wonderfully remote walk in a beautiful landscape.

Recently stayed in Dunkeld on the River Tay and used this book for 4 walks during the week. 3 were superb, easy directions and fantastic scenery. The other walk was poor, it was on the coast in St.Andrews and I think the authors decided they needed to put a walking route near this famous place, rather than find a better walk elsewhere.
But generally very happy with my purchase.
