Known to the ancient people of Central Scotland as uchel – ‘the high place’ – the long upland massif of the Ochils rises between the River Forth and the Southern Highlands, with a dramatic escarpment running between the cities of Stirling and Perth. The high rounded hills are cleaved by steep-sided ravines and dotted with castles, standing stones, burial mounds, hillforts and battlesites, making the Ochils a walker’s paradise.

This collection of 40 routes covers all the main summits, as well as the magnificent glens and the two rivers, the Allan and the Devon, which transect them.

Like so many others today we're in shock at this sad news. Richard worked with us years ago and was brilliant at everything he did - it was a privilege to know him.

Sir Chris Hoy has led the tributes to Richard Moore, the former Scottish cyclist, award-winning author and journalist who has died at the age of 48.

Lying between the Kintyre Peninsula and the Ayrshire coast, the Isle of Arran is a wonderful microcosm of the Scottish mainland. With such a diverse landscape, there are walks to suit all aspirations – from rugged expeditions in the northern peaks to pleasant wildlife walks on the quiet beaches that fringe the rolling farmland of the south.

Angus is the historical heartland of Scotland, a county where the past has left an indelible mark on the present. Prehistoric forts, ancient castles and Pictish standing stones dot a rich and varied landscape where bracing coastal hikes, tranquil riverside rambles, sheltered woodland wanders and more challenging hill ascents await the walker.

"They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."
-William Wordsworth

New Title Out Now!

Carmarthenshire, the largest of the old Welsh counties, is nestled between Pembrokeshire and the Gower Peninsula in the heart of South West Wales.

Along the coast, you’ll walk close to the airy edge of tall cliffs, but there are beaches too, some so long you can’t see an end to them! In addition, there are sheltered estuaries, like the ‘heron priested shore’ at Laugharne that inspired the poet Dylan Thomas.

Inland, there are tucked-away valleys and castle-topped hills, open moorland and ancient woodland fizzing with life.

This part of Wales really should be on the places-to-visit list of any avid walker. Now, with this newly released guide, it couldn't be any easier to find your way around it!

"Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance."
- William Wordsworth

The City of Aberdeen reveals a different aspect when explored on foot, leaving time to examine buildings and sculptures usually hurried past. With so much of Aberdeenshire facing the North Sea, the coast provides a handsome selection of routes taking in sandy dunes, rugged cliffs and natural arches, ruined castles and endless wildlife-watching spots.
