Explore the spectacular mountains and wild landscapes of north-western Scotland with 50 classic walks and scrambles in Torridon, Fisherfield, the Fannichs and An Teallach. From the steep rocky peaks of Torridon to the remote wilderness of Fisherfield Forest and Letterewe, these routes open the door to some of Scotland’s most awe-inspiring and distinctive hill country. Perfect for experienced walkers and mountain enthusiasts, this comprehensive Cicerone guidebook features routes ranging from 6 to 58km (4–36 miles), each requiring good fitness, confident navigation and self-reliance in remote terrain. Take on well-known Munros such as Liathach, Beinn Eighe and An Teallach, ascend quieter Corbetts and Grahams like Beinn Bhàn and Ben Shieldaig, and discover hidden summits among dramatic ridges, wild lochs and ancient Highland scenery. Climb 27 Munros, 20 Corbetts and 14 Graham summits across Torridon, the Fannichs, Fisherfield and Letterewe, from celebrated giants like Liathach, Beinn Eighe and An Teallach to little-visited peaks with remarkable views and fascinating geology.

Notes on each walk, whether in Torridon, Fisherfield, Letterewe or the Fannichs, highlight distance, estimated time (2 to 20 hours), and key navigational features and hazards. Most routes provide challenging days that may be split with a wild camp. Written for walking in Torridon, Fisherfield, the Fannichs and Letterewe from spring to autumn, with advice on tackling these routes as mountaineering objectives in winter, plus essential information on equipment, skills, geology, wildlife and the history of each area.
