While other guides plot intrepid mountaineering missions, workouts
and route marches, Highland Walks: Perth to Inverness, returns to
the core of what walking really means. It is unhurried, leisurely,
and most importantly an 'act of travelling'; an experience, not a
box to be ticked. Each walk is hand-picked to be accessible from
the public transport network between Perth and Inverness, Highland
Walks provides environmentally conscious and budget-friendly
outings for all the family. To smooth your road, walk times and
difficulty ratings are detailed for every route, alongside some
extra things to see and interesting facts for curious minds. Once
you learn to lose yourself without ever leaving the path, every
stroll can become an adventure.
