The West Highland Way
The West Highland Way
£16.99
The 95-mile West Highland Way was thought out in the 1960s & opened in 1980. But in a sense it has always been here. Clansmen & cattle thieves, redcoats & Sir Walter Scott in quest of a fictional character he called Rob Roy
- as well as Rob Roy himself, an honourable cattle thief
- have travelled this route between the Lowlands & Lochaber. This book traces the journey of glens & low passes, under the crags & high grassy sides of seven of Scotland`s hill ranges: from the Arrochar Alps of Loch Lomond to the Black Mount of Argyll, the Mamores & Ben Nevis. Along the way we see wild goats, the red deer of Rannoch, the golden eagle, & the meadow pipit. We enjoy violet orchids, wild heather & golden birches & walk through fields of yellow asphodel. Geologically, the West Highland Way is an outing from the Old Red Sandstone of the so-called Lowland Valley, through the grey schists of the Southern Highlands, to the great volcanic cauldron of Glen Coe. As it unfolds underfoot, it`s an ever-changing vista of heather & oakwood, of lochside & riverside
- but also a journey through the whole life & history of Celtic Scotl&.
