The routes in this guide range from 1 to 17 miles, & are clearly graded for distance & difficulty, as well as dividing between low-level, mid-level & mountain walks. From short, loch-side strolls suitable for all walkers, to long, challenging mountain routes with rocky scrambling, the Loch Lomond & Trossachs hills have plenty to offer.

The hills & glens of the Trossachs & Loch Lomond are the first of the Highlands as you come from the south & first in the affections of many hill-goers. Slightly less savage than their northern counterparts, they have a rugged charm all of their own. Their ridges are wrinkly schist & grassy picnic places, their lower slopes are oakwoods & ferries cruise the lochs in between. This guidebook
