Description
Brand new 3rd edition from 2026 – completely updated
The classic cruising guide from Clyde Cruising Club is now available in a brand new and thoroughly revised 3rd edition. Completely updated throughout, this 2026 edition provides revised sailing descriptions, updated pilot information and new local knowledge for the waters around Orkney, Shetland, Fair Isle as well as key ports of call along the northeast coast of Scotland from Inverness to Cape Wrath.
Written and edited by experienced local sailors, the guide is considered a standard work for sailing in this demanding and fascinating area. The new edition builds on the guide’s strong reputation, but with extensive revisions that make it particularly interesting also for those who already have previous editions.
The book covers everything from tidal currents, narrow sounds and challenging passages to sheltered harbors and remote anchorages. Updated port descriptions, enhanced pilot information and familiar Imray cartography make this an invaluable planning and navigation aid.
The 2026 edition also includes updated information on sights, history and shore leave opportunities, from Neolithic heritage sites and Viking tracks to the marine history of Scapa Flow. Full-color photos, including new aerial and drone imagery, add extra value as both a practical guide and source of inspiration.
For sailors looking to explore some of Europe’s most dramatic and rewarding waters, this new edition is a natural choice – either as a first-time purchase or an upgrade from previous editions.
