Loch Ness, with its legendary monster, is the most famous of all lochs. It holds more water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined and the countryside around it features an equally great variety of walks, with more waymarked trails and easy routes suitable for families than many other parts of the Highlands. Further north lies the magnificent Glen Affric - Scotland's most beautiful glen. This is a wonderful area of the Highlands for walkers, having the highest mountains north of the Great Glen but also some splendid lower-level and forest walks. To the east is the fertile Black Isle, packed with charming villages and some fine beaches, whilst further north still is Dingwall, a gateway to the spectacular Northern Highlands.

40 inspiring short walks in and around the Kingdom of Fife, stretching from the north side of the famous Forth Bridges, along the Firth of Forth to Culross, and Gleneagles and Dollar Further north, and then east beyond Kirkcaldy to the string of picturesque fishing villages of the East Neuk. The guide travels north through Dunfermline and Glenrothes to Falkland and beyond to St Andrews, Tentsmuir Forest and the might Tay, with forays also into Kinross.

The Isle of Skye occupies an almost mythical place in the minds of many Scots. Romantic castles, magnificent sea-scapes, the alpine peaks of the Cuillin Ridge, marching pip bands, scattered white crofters' cottages and a bloody history: the island has all these and more. This walking guide features 40 moderate walks that take in much of this celebrated landscape, but reveals hidden gems too. In spite of its popularity Skye is still rich in undiscovered treasures, from coastal caves and arches, ruined villages cruelly cleared of their inhabitants, to fossilised dinosaur footprints and a rich array of wildlife. Written by Skye residents Paul and Helen Webster, these walks will reveal both the wild and gentler sides of this dramatic landscape.

The Isle of Mull is the second largest of the Inner Hebrides. Perhaps best known for the colourful harbour of Tobermory, its capital at the northern end of the island, Mull has become very popular as a holiday destination, most particularly amongst wildlife enthusiasts. This walking guide from Pocket Mountains brings together the very best walking routes on Mull and the neighbouring islands of Iona and Ulva, both easily reached via short ferry journeys. Mull includes some of the wildest coastal scenery in the UK as well as many grand mountains, pretty villages and stunning sandy beaches.

The tranquil borderland of the Marches offers a varied landscape truncated by rivers meandering to lowland plains. Limestone to the west and north of the old red sandstone of the Hereford Plain has given rise to exceptionally attractive hilly country with delightful, narrow valleys. In these 40 walks Ben Giles explores all the best places to vist in this wonderful area of the country.
