With 80 routes, this guidebook offers walkers many opportunities to explore the hills of Highland Perthshire. Bound by the Cairngorms to the north, Stirling to the south and stretching to Bridge of Orchy in the west, the graded routes include all 42 Munros in the region. In addition, the guide covers 22 selected Corbetts, 15 smaller (but notable) hills, the low-level routes in the 'Big tree Country' and the historic passes of Gaick and Minigaig. Routes are grouped into ten geographical areas: Comrie and Crieff, Killin and Glen Lochay, Glen Lyon, Bridge of Orchy, Perth and Dunkeld, Aberfeldy, Tummel and Loch Rannoch, Rannoch Moor, Pitlochry and Blair Atholl and Drumochter. Clusters of ascents are described for some key summits: Ben Dorain, Ben Lawers, Beinn a; Ghlo and Alder. A combination of 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 mapping is included as appropriate along with detailed route descriptions, information about places of interest, as well as wildlife, geology and practical details on the deer stalking season.
