Using this Guide

The book has primarily been written as a continuous route, although each section can be walked as a day route using the area's excellent public transport. Each day has been written to finish where accommodation, meals and provisions are easily attainable (except Lochranza, Day 6, which has hotels but no shop). Further points to remember are as follows:

 Some of the sections can prove quite long and if this is the case then the route can, in most cases, be broken down further into easier chunks.
