Thanks to all the team at Cicerone for transforming my words and pictures into a rather fine wee guidebook! While researching the routes for this guide I have enjoyed the excellent company of Kirsten Abingdon, Rich Baldwin, Sarah Blann, James Boulter (www.backpackingbongos.wordpress.com), Andy and Jen Dodd, Andy Godfrey, Giulia Hetherington, Clare Meadows, Fiona Rintoul and Dùghall Mòr nan Eilean. Thanks to Morar-based mountain leader, Peter Khambatta (www.adventurenevis.com) for several pictures. Thanks to Alex Munro and Bob McFarlane of www.blueskyscotland.blogspot.com for pictures and an inspirational eye on Scotland’s great outdoors.

Thanks to Jura-based photographer, Konrad Borkowski for the red deer pictures (www.konradborkowski.com). On the isle of Rum, I was greatly assisted by Linda Hjoelund of Scottish National Heritage and all the staff at Kinloch Castle, especially Georgie McMillan and Rebecca Watson. Thanks also to Dave ‘Chainsaw’ Beaton for loaning me his binoculars. On Canna, a big thank you to Stewart Connor, the island’s National Trust for Scotland warden and his partner, Julie McCabe, who rescued us when our tent was blown into the sea. Special thanks are due to my wife, The Lovely Fiona, for her support, encouragement and great good sense.
