Format:Paperback
I have to give this book 5 stars since it's well priced, well produced and a really useful guide to rely on when I'm walking at the weekends. There are around 40 mostly circular routes provided ranging from walks in the Pentlands near Edinburgh through to the Borders, Galloway and the coasts of southern Scotland. The trails are written-up in fine, no-nonsense detail (you can't get lost) and the book itself is nicely designed with some lovely images - the A6 format is also very handy (hence the 'Pocket' part I presume!).

Beautifully produced, like the rest of Nick Williams' Pocket Mountains series. Nick's enthusiasm for these hills is plain to see. The photos and the little nuggets of scene-setting information are a real treat. There is a good variety of objectives and lengths of walk - the book is not just for peak-baggers, although the biggest hills in each part of the Southern Uplands are certainly covered.
As someone coming up from south of the border into pretty unfamiliar hillwalking territory I would have appreciated a bit more of an overview but this is not a major drawback. I usually end up making my own alterations to the guidebook routes I get around to doing so maybe I'm not the best person to review the route descriptions! Nevertheless its great to have some inspiration and some pointers on where to go.
