The south-eastern Grampians of the former county of Perthshire may
be grassier and less rugged than other Scottish mountains, but they
are just as big. The routes in this guide take you to the summits
of these 'jolly green giants' - covering all of the region's
Munros, often by unconventional routes, as well as several Corbetts
and smaller hills - and also over the Atholl passes, along rivers
and through the woods of Perthshire's 'Big Tree Country'. The 80
walks comprise a mixture of low-level, mid-level and mountain
routes and are graded by both length and difficulty. Many are
demanding, crossing remote, uneven, steep and/or pathless terrain,
but also included are gentler walks on clear paths taking in local
features of interest. The route description is illustrated with
clear mapping (a mixture of OS 1:50,000 and smaller-scale maps for
the longer routes) and the route summary table and grading
information make it easy to choose an appropriate route. There is a
wealth of information about the landscape and the region's
fascinating history. Finally, appendices cover local facilities and
access to the hills during the deer-stalking season. With
highlights including the mighty Ben Lawers, Beinn Dorain, Ben Alder
and Beinn a' Ghlo; Schiehallion; the great rivers Tay and Garry;
the Birks of Aberfeldy; and old drovers' routes over the passes of
Minigaig and Gaick, Perthshire has plenty to offer. And with
historic towns, such as Perth and Pitlochry, and attractive
villages, this is an ideal base for a walking holiday.
