AA 50 Walks In The Scottish Highlands & Islands

The mountains of Scotland come in all shapes and sizes. There are the green friendly fells of Perthshire, where the great River Tummel winds idly in its oak-tree gorge and salmon flash in the pools of Killiecrankie. There are the grim crags of Glen Coe - oppressive and even scary on days of low cloud, wind and beating rain. When the clouds do lift and the sun comes out, its still oppressive and scary because you can see how high they go. Northwards we come to the Cairngorm massif. These huge hills are rounded and Cairngorms great forest grows with a great river flowing through it on a bed of golden shingle.
