The Arran Coastal Way is perhaps Scotland's finest circular
long-distance trail, running 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of
Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It's accessible
from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as`Scotland in
miniature', Arran is rich in scenery, castles, caves and standing
stones. The walking is varied, from mountain paths to deserted
beaches, from minor road-walking to boulder-hopping, and in places
it is refreshingly rugged. Arran's wildlife is uniquely
approachable, and its residents welcoming. Both text and photos
have been thoroughly updated after route changes and extra options
created by the Coastal Communities Fund project. This third edition
has mapping at 1:55,000 and 125 colour photos. Its predecessor was

'Coffin roads' along which bodies were carried for burial are a
marked feature of the landscape of the Scottish Highlands and
islands - many are now popular walking and cycling routes. This
book journeys along eight coffin roads to discover and explore the
distinctive traditions, beliefs and practices around dying, death
and mourning in the communities which created and used them. The
result is a fascinating snapshot into place and culture. After more
than a century when death was very much a taboo subject, this book
argues that aspects of the distinctive West Highland and Hebridean
way of death and approach to dying and mourning may have something
helpful and important to offer to us today. Routes covered in this
book are: The Kilmartin Valley - the archetypal coffin road in this
ritual landscape of the dead. The Street of the Dead on Iona -
perhaps the best known coffin road in Scotland. Kilearnadil
Graveyard, Jura - a perfect example of a Hebridean graveyard. The
coffin road through Morvern to Keil Church, Lochaline - among the
best defined and most evocative coffin roads today. The Green Isle,
Loch Shiel, Ardnamurchan - the oldest continuously used burial
place anywhere in Europe. The coffin road on Eigg - with its
distinctive 'piper's cairn' where the coffin of Donald MacQuarrie,
the 'Great Piper of Eigg', was rested. The coffin road from Traigh
Losgaintir to Loch Stocinis on Harris - popular with walkers and
taken as the title for a best-selling thriller by Peter May. The
coffin road on Barra - A detailed study of burial practices on
Barra in the early 1950s provides a fascinating record of Hebridean
attitudes to dying, death and mourning.

In this lovingly-researched new guide, Matt Newbury and Sophie
Pierce take the reader beyond the popular beaches into a hidden
world. Torbay's 22 miles of coastline is enormously diverse, from
the terracotta crags of Maidencombe, to the spectacular limestone
arch at the grandly-named London Bridge; its waters are among the
shallowest and safest in the UK. The book features fifteen detailed
swims packed with practical information, as well as the history,
popular culture, geology and marine biology of each unique section
of coast. Captivating images by diver Dan Bolt reveal a previously
unseen side to this coast, away from the sandcastles and
candyfloss. The book also looks at Torbay's proud history of sea
swimming, and a golden age when the resort was known as Queen of
the Watering Places. The Bay was once renowned throughout the
country for its amazing swimming; now it's time to rediscover what
made this small corner of England so famous.
