Guidebook to 25 coastal and mountain walks on the Small Isles of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna

Suitable for a range of abilities. Explore this wild and rugged archipelago off Scotland's west coast, where volcanic peaks, dramatic cliffs, and quiet shorelines offer some of the Hebrides' most rewarding walking. Highlights include the towering Cuillin of Rum, the pitchstone ridge of An Sgùrr on Eigg, Canna's spectacular sea cliffs, and Muck's fascinating coastline.

The routes range from short rambles to longer treks, including a challenging three-day, 41 km (25 mile) circuit around the coast of Rum. Walks vary from 3.4 km (2.25 miles) and can be completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the route. Many walks are circular, while others link key island features or viewpoints. The varied terrain includes rough mountain paths, moorland, open pasture, and coastal tracks.
