Following on from the Scottish Mountaineering Club's best-sellers,
The Munros and The Corbetts, this definitive guidebook recommends
the best journeys on the next principal listings of Scottish hills.
Written and compiled by some of the foremost authorities on the
Scottish mountains and brought to life with maps and vivid colour
photographs, this richly illustrated guide details more than 250
routes, including, where appropriate, logical combinations with
neighbouring hills. Ranging between 600m and 762m, there are 231
Grahams, while the Donalds comprise the 141 summits and Tops above
2000ft (610m) in the Scottish Lowlands. At such an accessible
height range, these hills are increasingly popular and offer
challenges across the country for both the occasional and dedicated
walker. The lower height limit for a Graham was changed from 2000ft
(609m) to 600m by Alan Dawson, the keeper of the list, after the
book was sent to print. Consequently 3 hills removed from the list
in 2014 once more qualify as Grahams along with 9 new summits,
taking the total from 219 to 231. So that users of this book have
route information for all of the hills on the official list, we
have prepared an addendum containing updated information to Grahams
already in the book, together with route descriptions and maps for
the newly added and reinstated hills in the list below. This is
available as a free download at https://bit.ly/GrahamsAdd. Whether
you're looking to climb all the summits on Scotland's principal
lists or just want some great days off the beaten tracks, The
Grahams & The Donalds is a book no hillwalker should be
without. About the SMC The SMC produces a number of Hillwalkers'

This is a highly detailed and superbly illustrated guidebook to
walking in what is probably Scotland's most popular and most
accessible range of hills - the splendid Pentland Hills on the
outskirts of Edinburgh. 60 varied walks have been carefully
selected and described ranging from low level family strolls to
easy hill walks and lengthier, more challenging hill and moorland
walks. This is an ideal guidebook for both the regular outdoor
enthusiast and the occasional visitor, including more than 150
colour photographs, 60 coloured route maps and a unique table of
heights listing 157 high points in the Pentland Hills.
This is the first definitive sport climbing guide for Scotland,
written by 18 of the leading Scottish sport climbers. The guidebook
includes 1300 routes, from grades 3 to 9a spread across over 100
crags from the Central Belt to Shetland and Arisaig to Aberdeen. It
is lavishly illustrated with action photos for each main crag,
easy-to-use maps and photo diagrams, and a colour-coded route
grading system. The guide covers sport climbing as well all
Scotland's world-class 'dry tooling' routes. The landscape format
is designed to lay open at the crags, and the cover flaps contain
useful reference information for those new to sport climbing as
well as climbers visiting from other countries. Sport climbing has
a wider audience than traditional climbing; with quick drying
accessible crags, it suits the busy modern climber and the
family-friendly climbing day.
