"The Edge" explores both the history of Scottish climbing over the last 100 years and the lives and personalities of the exceptional men who pioneered and set new challenges to mountaineering in Scotland. The primary sites cover Glencoe, Ben Nevis, the Cuillin of Skye, Sutherland, and the Cairngorms. There is also an in-depth look at the modern climbers, namely Dave Cuthbertson, Rab Anderson, and Graeme Ettle, and what sort of people climbers are and why they do it. Diagrammatic elevations illustrate 11 of the routes taken so hill climbers and mountaineers can experience the thrill of climbing for themselves. With over 70 colour and black-and-white photographs, "The Edge" is a fascinating account of the trials of some of the most courageous men in mountaineering history.

Of all Scotland's islands none casts its spell quite as dramatically as the Isle of Skye. Celebrated in song and story, Eilean a'Cheo is a place of astonishing natural beauty and attracts climbers and walkers from all over the world. The 70-mile long Skye Trail connects two of the island's most extraordinary landscapes; the world-famous Cuillin, the most rugged mountain range in Britain, and the Trotternish ridge, a rolling escarpment of basalt hills that look over the sea to the tumbled landscapes of mainland Scotland. This long walk through the island, the 'Skitis' of the Celtic world, follows ancient byways, cattle drovers' routes, mountain footpaths and an old railway line, through a land where the first inhabitants sensed the presence of their gods in every nook and cranny, on every hill and crag, in every corrie and loch. Landscape and weather and an affinity with wild nature made up the very fabric of their lives. The route visits castles, takes in geological gems like the Quiraing and the Storr, follows rivers and loch-side paths and recalls those who were brutally removed from their homes during the Highland Clearances. It visits the site of the 'last battle on British soil' and climbs Bla Bheinn, surely the finest mountain on this island of fine mountains. The route then takes its finale along the old Marble Line to Broadford, and the end of a magnificent island journey. The Skye Trail is destined to be one of the most popular long distance walks in Britain. Adopted by the Highland Council as an official long distance walk, it was brought to life by BBC Scotland's often repeated "Skye Trail" presented by Cameron McNeish. This illustrated book is based on the broadcast and Cameron's experiences of the trail, the island, its people and its history and environment.
