Caithness And Sutherland Walking Guide

Scenery takes centre stage in Caithness and Sutherland right in the far north of Britain. There is something for everyone, with dramatic sea cliffs, expansive beaches of white sand, vast moorlands dotted with watery pools and amazing mountains rising steeply to provide a playground for walkers and climbers. Against this backdrop, the human story of ancient societies, Norse invaders and, more recently, the Highland Clearances has left its mark on the landscape to be discovered by modern-day visitors. This guide features 40 shorter walks, many of which can be combined with visits to local attractions and craft studios.
