Fort William and Glen Coe encompass one of the greatest areas of
sea and mountain landscape in Scotland, backed by some of the
biggest and most demanding peaks. This is Scotland's fjord land, a
drowned coastland with long sea arms wending far inland, and the
walks range from Fort William at sea level to Ben Nevis, the
highest summit in Britain. The whole area is steeped in history,
and its story is well told at local museums and information centres
such as at Ballachulish, Kinlochleven and Glencoe, all areas

The walks in this guide introduce the many facets of the Southern
Highlands and range from easy loch-side strolls to strenuous
expeditions onto some of the area's highest mountains. Walking in
Scotland is quite different from walking south of the border. In
England there are only eight summits that top 3000 ft, while in
Scotland there are 277, with 45 of them situated in the Southern
Highlands. Walks taking in the mountains of the National Park
include Beinn Dubh, Ben Vorlich, The Cobbler, Ben Ledi, Ben Lomond
and Ben Venue. The Trossachs are particularly spectacular when
clothed in autumn colours and provided the setting for The Lady of
the Lake and Rob Roy, by Sir Walter Scott. The Ochil Hills, Loch
Lomond and the West Highland Way are also included, and there is an
opportunity to see Stirling and the Wallace monument, overlooking
the scene of the Scottish patriot's victory over Edward I.
