The Campsie Fells, along with the Kilpatrick, Kilsyth, Fintry and Gargunnock Hills, form a sprawling upland range which stretches eastwards from Dumbarton, passing to the north of the city of Glasgow and across the narrow waist of Scotland towards Stirling. It is often said that Glasgow is one of the easiest cities to get away from and the Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills, a few short miles north of the city, are the first port of call. This guide covers all of the major hills within both ranges, as well as low-level walks around and between the villages which lie on their perimeters....

Rugged, wild, sparsely-populated and gouged by misty sea-lochs, South Argyll was once known in Old Gaelic as Airer Goidel, the 'Coast of the Gaels' and remains a place apart. The hills and glens here are steeped in history and littered with standing stones, hillforts and castles, as well as unique wildlife-rich habitats created by the warming Gulf Stream. This book explores the very best of Knapdale, Kintyre and the Cowal coast as well as the Isles of Gigha and Bute with walks to suit all abilities, many of which utilise the long-distance walking trails which criss-cross the area.
