Skye Scrambles

This updated guide details the best walks, scrambles and low-grade rock climbs on the island of Skye, including over 30 new routes and insight into the local wildlife, history and geology. While the focus is on the magnificent gabbro mountains of the Cuillin for which the island is renowned, many other fine outings are described in the neighbouring Red Hills and the dramatic, less-frequented landscapes to the west and north. There is something for every taste, ranging from short, accessible outings to more committing adventures, including classics such as the Trotternish Ridge and Main Ridge Traverse..
