Jacquetta Megarry is a professional author who turned publisher in 2000 when she created the Rucksack Reader format to meet the needs of long-distance walkers. The West Highland Way was her first long-distance walk and it remains her favourite among Scottish walks. She has completed it end-to-end several times and revisits parts of it repeatedly.

This [5th edition] differs from earlier Rucksack Readers we’ve seen in being rather slimmer and with the spiral binding down the side rather than across the top. In our view both these changes make it even more usable. …The walk is broken down into seven sections, each with detailed large scale mapping commissioned specifically for the book and clear, detailed route instructions. The result is a book that gives the walker everything they need in one place and at their fingertips.Combine the quality of the content with beautiful presentation and good colour photography throughout and the end result is a book that’s a pleasure to use – or just to browse – and an essential companion for anyone wanting to tackle the West Highland Way.
