Jarrold Pathfinder 3 - Skye & The North West Highlands
ISBN: 0-7117-0850-9
This guide covers a substantial area of Scotland's western seaboard. The southernmost walks are based on Gairloch and Torridon, while Sandwood Bay, the location of the most northern route, lies 75 miles (120km) to the north-east. The walks divide simply into mountain and coastal routes. A clifftop walk starting at Stoer gives stunning views of Quinag and Ben More and the Outer Hebridean islands, while another route starts from Shieldaig, a picturesque village facing west towards the Applecross peninsula.
For the more adventurous, there is a walk to Rubha Hunish, the most northerly point of Skye. This tiny peninsula can be reached only by descending 300 ft (90m)-high cliffs but it is a uniquely wild and beautiful spot. The crags and pinnacles of the Quirang, the Flowerdale Waterfalls, the Fairy Pools of Skye and Sandwood Bay are other local highlights featured in the walks.
