Walk Scotland is a guidebook with a difference as Bruce Sandison takes the reader on 125 of his favourite walks - from the Shetland Isles to the Borders, including three excursions in the land of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland - combining practical information of indigenous flora and fauna with local history and the author's personal knowledge of these routes in his beloved native land.
Each walk is a complete story in itself. Sandison recounts his own experiences during a lifetime spent exploring Scotland's countryside: a first kiss among the trees of the 'T' Woods at Swanston, near Edinburgh; discovering Skara Brae in Orkney, before the tourists. His sense of humour is never far behind as he remembers those who walked these ways in days gone by: Mary, Queen of Scots, dashing from Jedburgh to Hermitage Castle to comfort her lover, incurring the wrath of Presbyterian Scotland for doing so; and Bonnie Prince Charlie holding 'court' behind Ben Corridale on South Uist.
Including walks to suit all standards of fitness, this book is beautifully illustrated with colour photographs. Ordnance Survey grid references are noted for routes, start- and finishing-points and key markers along the way. At once a practical guide and an evocative account of the history permeating these stunning landscapes, Walk Scotland is a must for all would-be walkers and lovers of the Scottish countryside.
"This book takes readers on 125 of the author's favourite walks - from Shetland to the Borders - and it combines practical information with history and personal insights. Each walk tells a story, often with humour; a first kiss at Swanston is recalled, as is the discovery of Skara Brae before mass tourism" (Scots Magazine)
"One to study and plan from while ambling through the pages" (Scotland on Sunday)
"This snappily written book covers all points of the Scottish compass . . . an informative and entertaining read" (Inverness Courier)
"From the northernmost tip of Scotland, Muckle Flugga on the island of Unst in Shetland, down through the country to the Borders, nature and history and beauty and fresh air mingle. Sheer delight - Scottish Life" (Scottish Life)
"His romantic and lyrical descriptions will arouse feelings of great pride and longing in people who love the great outdoors of Scotland. One can only admire the energy and determination Sandison has displayed in achieving all the walks and also in describing them in such an enjoyable style" (Shetland Times)
