Highland Scrambles North

This newly delineated guide describes some of the best
scrambles and easy rock climbs in the North-West Highlands
of Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Rum. With 200 routes
stretching from Sutherland in the north to Glenfinnan in the
south, and from Uist in the west to Caithness in the east, its
scope and range offer scrambling options across all levels and rock types.

Keen hillwalkers can build their confidence on straightforward itineraries with a bit of exposure, and there's plenty to whet the appetites of those who already have some experience and want to explore new territory on sustained, technical journeys requiring greater commitment.

From the elegant bands of Lewisian gneiss that comprise much of the Outer Hebrides and the northern hinterland of Ben Stack and Foinaven to Torridon?s terraced sandstone cliffs and the pinnacled ridges of An Teallach, there are many hidden gems to discover. You?ll also find updates of well-established and much-loved classics, including the Forcan Ridge, Stac Pollaidh and the Rum Cuillin.

Presented in our new contemporary style, Highland Scrambles North includes high-resolution photo diagrams and beautifully rendered maps for greater clarity and accessibility.
With venue and route information accompanied by advice on conditions, this guidebook has everything you need for a superb day out in the Scottish mountains.
