Walking Deeside, Donside and Angus,  Mary Welsh and Christine Isherwood - A completely new guide to a delightful part of Scotland much visited but seldom explored extensively on foot. The authors set out to prove that these wide areas of imposing mountains and endless forests offer plentiful opportunities for average walkers to find accessible and rewarding expeditions. Whether it is strolling beside fast-flowing rivers, or clambering triumphantly to a magnificent hill-top viewpoint or simply discovering the magic of the coastal sand-dunes, here is the key to active enjoyment of a region rich in scenic contrasts and teeming with wonderful and sometimes rare wildlife. Fife Coastal Path, the Official Guide, Hamish Brown - 'The Fife Coastal Path' skirting the spectacular Fife shoreline, offers an ideal way to sample the area's rich heritage. It introduces the visitor to its wealth of castles, churches, harbours, milestones and red-roofed 'little houses'.

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.

The Cateran Trail, Jacquetta Megarry - The Cateran Trail follows the footsteps of 16th century cattle rustlers (caterans) for 63 miles (101km). It starts from Blairgowrie, passing through the heart of Scotland with its rich pre-history, heritage and wildlife. This circular waymarked walk can be comfortably completed in 4-5 undemanding days, with the nearest village never more than 7 miles away.
