Walking in the Ochils, Campsie Fells and Lomond Hills, Patrick Baker -
As rugged and spectacular as they can be tranquil and picturesque, the
Campsie Fells, the Ochils and the Lomonds are the most accessible hills in
Scotland's Central Belt. Despite their close proximity to Edinburgh, Glasgow
and Perth, these three ranges remain a remarkably uncrowded wilderness area.
Combining a rich mixture of open moorland peaks, steep sided glens, fast
flowing burns and lush woodland, few other areas can treat the hillwalker to
such diverse scenery and varieties of animal and plant life in the space of
a single day's outing. This guide describes 33 contrasting walks that will
take the walker over the three ranges. The majority of these walks are
circular.

Rob Roy Way from Drymen to Pitlochry, J Megarry - This
long-distance walk from Drymen to Pitlochry was developed by Rucksack
Readers in partnership with walking enthusiasts. It runs for 79 miles (126
km) along some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens, using historic
footpaths, a cycle route, forest tracks and some minor road. Many places are
linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734).
The route has no official status, but was negotiated with private
landowners, Forest Enterprise, Stirling and Perth Councils and others. The
Way offers superb views, but is less strenuous than the West Highland Way.
It is not fully waymarked as such, but the book gives detailed directions
and most of it is straightforward. Walkers are always advised to carry a
compass, but are unlikely to need it unless walking an exposed section in
winter. This book contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday:
background on Rob Roy MacGregor, history, heritage and wildlife; summary of
each section showing distance, terrain and food/drink stops; drop-down map
showing the whole route in five panels; visitor attractions and hills to
climb (Munros, Corbetts and Grahams); special notes for people with no
previous experience; planning information for travel by car, train, bus or
plane; foreword by Sir David Steel, Presiding Officer of the Scottish
Parliament; in full colour, with over 60 photographs; waterproof paper
throughout.
