This updated guide details the best walks, scrambles and low-grade rock climbs on the island of Skye, including over 30 new routes and insight into the local wildlife, history and geology. While the focus is on the magnificent gabbro mountains of the Cuillin for which the island is renowned, many other fine outings are described in the neighbouring Red Hills and the dramatic, less-frequented landscapes to the west and north. There is something for every taste, ranging from short, accessible outings to more committing adventures, including classics such as the Trotternish Ridge and Main Ridge Traverse.

The SMC produces a wide range of guidebooks, including a number of hillwalkers' guides, the best and most popular guides to the Munros, Corbetts, Grahams and Donalds, together with a series of area guides covering all of Scotland. In addition, it produces scramblers' guides and the definitive series of climbers' guides covering summer and winter climbing in Scotland.

SMC guidebooks are published by the Scottish Mountaineering Press, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Scottish Mountaineering Trust, the charity to whom we channel all of our profits. At the Press, we promote and share Scotland's natural wonders by embracing the creativity and art borne of an explorer spirit and celebrating the endeavour and joy in a life lived outdoors.
