After some recommendations for guidebooks that include scrambling routes in Scotland. I've moved over from Oz and wanting to get out there. I've picked some walking guides which have been good but if anyone can suggest some good ones that include scrambling, it would be appreciated. Or even some good route cards on this site.
Cheers

Skye Scrambles, SMC guide by Noel Williams. Possibly one of the best scrambling guides ever produced.

Seconded. And on the best scrambling terrain imaginable.

though bear in mind that some of the routes are very rarely done, so go prepared for adventure!

Dan Bailey's Scotland's Mountain Ridges is an inspiring book and well worth getting for a selection of some of the best scrambles on offer in The Highlands.

The above probably covers everything. To summarise, in the UK the go-to publisher for scrambling is Cicerone - probably the only publisher to have a comprehensive range of scrambling guides for the country (as well as an extensive range of other guides for walking, cycling etc.). In Scotland you are spoilt as SMC also make an exceptional range of guidebooks for scrambling as well as climbing.
