of Rhum and the Cuillins of Slye.
Today, you can if you wish visit several of the islands by regular, short flights from Glasgow, you can drive across the Skye Bridge, or you can savour the sea views and feeling of remoteness by taking the ferry - though not, now quite the risky affair it was in the ''30s when "by the help of GOd" the Hebridean boatman would guide you to your destination after several uncomfortalbe hours at sea! Whatever your method of travel, be warmed that your visit will probably be the first of many, such is the very special charm of these islands and their people.
As well as a general descrption of the island in quistion, each chapter includes suggestions for walking routes which take full advantage of the scenery on offer. Sketch maps and photograpohs accompany the text.
