Description
Scotland between woodland, water, and heights.
The Trossachs lies where the lowlands meet more pronounced highland terrain. The area offers a dense network of woodland, lochs, and viewpoints, providing many options within short distances. The book is based around Callander and Aberfoyle and shows how to experience several sides of this popular Scottish hiking area.
Fifteen walks to well-known and quieter spots.
The selection includes Bracklinn Falls, Loch Katrine, Callander Crags, and the area around Ben A’an, among others. You’ll find both walks by water and options with a greater change in elevation. Many of the outings fit into half a day, leaving room for other experiences during a trip around Scotland.
Easy planning with maps and route descriptions.
Each walk is described with an Ordnance Survey map and details on access, parking, and facilities. Photos and descriptions of highlights make it easier to choose what to prioritize. Several routes also allow you to adapt the plan, which is useful when time, weather, or hiking preferences vary during the holiday.
Choose your outing based on weather and mood.
Lower woodland walks can be a good option when the heights are in the clouds, while clear days invite a trip to the viewpoints. The terrain varies, and some walks have steep sections. The guide suits families and others who want a clear, manageable selection, rather than having to search for suitable walks in a far larger regional guide.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
