Sutherland book
Our book, The Sutherland Trail - a journey through north-west Scotland, will be published in September. We’re pretty excited about this book. Richard Else has taken the photographs and they really are a stunning collection of images. While the book can be used simply as a guide to The Sutherland Trail, I’ve added a lot of information about all the hills adjacent to the route, plus a lot oif information, anecdotes and some interviews that all go some way to show that Sutherland is a vibrant and fascinating place, with strong community, and is definitely one of Scotland’s thriving adventure destinations.
The book will be distributed through Cordee, or can be purchased through this website, or from our Mountain Media website. And Robert Macfarlane has written a marvellous foreword…

I look forward to buying the book. I had to abandon the Sutherland Trail earlier this year due to work commitments, but I’d left planning the trip until the last minute. I usually prefer to spend weeks poring over maps and reading guidebooks prior to a walk. As I now plan to resume the Sutherland Trail in October, the timing of its publication is perfect. Is the format of the book “pocket-sized”?

Hi James,
No I’m afraid it’s not pocket-sized. We have gone for a rather smart looking book that contains a lot about Sutherland and its mountains rather than just a trail guide, although you’ll get all the trail information you need from it. The book is illustrated with some superb photographs by my compatriot Richard Else, so we wanted a book that would show his images to best advantage. I se it’s already on the Amazon and Borders websites.
