The Grahams: A Guide to Scotland’s 2,000ft Peaks
Andrew Dempster
This although, well-illustrated guidebook is the first to describe the ascent of Scottish mountains between 2,000 and 2,500 feet, collectively known as the Grahams. There are 224 such peaks scattered widely across the whole of the country, from Galloway to the far north, and seven are on islands, including Harris and South Uist. They range from the remote rocky outcrops challenging the serious, seasoned hillwalker, to readily accessible hilltops for complete beginners. THE GRAHAMS point the way to what could be considered the ultimate challenge for those who love Scotland’s hills – the ascent of all 720 Munros, Corbetts and Grahams. Anyone lucky (and determined) enough to have completed such a mammoth undertaking will know the country in a way that most others can only dream of.
Andrew Dempster
