With its companion volumes 50 Best Routes, 50 More Routes and 50 Best Routes on Skye and Raasay, 50 Classic Routes completes a series of guidebooks that has become the standard reference work to the best of Scottish hillwalking. This latest volume again ranges across the Highlands to provide a well-chosen cross-section of routes, carefully researched to eliminate the boring trudge and accentuate the entertaining. Newcomers will find more than enough to keep them happy, while the experienced Scottish hillwalker will be encouraged to look again.

Here are fifty circular routes in the Scottish Highlands, all including a peak over 600m/2,000ft and all accessible by road; from gentle strolls to challenging scrambles, selected by a respected walker, climber and writer; complete with at-a-glance ratings for terrain, adverse conditions and technical difficulty, and supported by maps and photographs.
