The Hebrides are among the most wild and beautiful places in the British Isles, a vast archipelago stretching from the Inner Hebrides to the Outer Isles, where white-sand beaches meet volcanic peaks, ancient culture runs deep, and the walking is unlike anywhere else in Britain. From the dramatic ridgelines of the Skye Cuillin to the remote coasts of St Kilda, these islands reward those willing to make the journey.
This inspirational large-format Cicerone guidebook covers 50 walking and backpacking routes across the Hebrides, illustrated throughout with stunning photography and combining clear route descriptions with mapping and practical information for each walk. Written by Peter Edwards, who lives on the Isle of Harris, it is a guide shaped by genuine knowledge of and passion for the islands.
- The 50 routes span well-known and remote islands across the full length of the archipelago, including Skye, Mull, Jura, Islay, Colonsay, Rum, Eigg, Canna, Muck, Coll, Tiree, Raasay, Harris, Lewis, North Uist, South Uist, Barra and St Kilda
- Hebrides classics are covered in full, among them the Skye and Rum Cuillin traverses, the Trotternish Ridge, the Paps of Jura and full island circuits, alongside many lesser-known routes that most visitors never find
- Most routes offer a full day's walking for experienced walkers (between 5 and 32km), with a selection of multi-day backpacking adventures on more remote islands, as well as some shorter options
- Each walk is accompanied by mapping and spectacular photography, with practical information on facilities, public transport, length and terrain, making it straightforward to plan a visit to even the most remote islands
- A comprehensive introduction covers geology, history, culture, wildlife, plants and flowers, alongside practical advice on travel, navigation, safety, river crossings and dealing with midges and the deerstalking season
Comprehensive, authoritative and richly illustrated, this is the essential companion for anyone drawn to the wild landscapes of the Scottish islands.
