Available now, Scottish Wild Country Backpacking is a celebration of Scotland's wild places and ideal for experienced and self-reliant adventurers. Containing one single-day route, other routes range from between 2 to 4 days - making for a great weekend trip. 

Overview data, route description and 1:100,000 mapping are provided for each of the routes and they are illustrated with stunning colour photos. An introduction offers background information about the Highlands' rich geology, plants and wildlife and the historical and cultural context of Scotland's 'wilderness'. There is also practical information on preparing and equipping for an incursion into these isolated locations and advice for those looking to expand their experience of wild-country backpacking.
