Using this guide

The routes are grouped by island into six sections, each preceded by an overview map. Each section has an introduction covering the local geology, history, wildlife, transport and amenities, including information on the local access situation and estate contacts.

Route descriptions

Each route in this guide is described step by step and is illustrated with extracts from the 1:50,000 OS maps. For each one the route distance, rough timing and the OS map you will need to carry with you are listed, alongside the grid reference for your start point. Altitudes are given in metres, abbreviated to m, for example ‘750m'. Distances along the ground are given in metres, fully spelled out, for example ‘100 metres'.

In the appendices at the end of the book are a route summary table, details of accommodation island by island, and suggestions for further reading.
