Islay, Jura and Colonsay make up the southerly Hebridean island group and are famed for their outstanding wildlife, glorious sandy beaches, fascinating historical treasures, rugged hills and dramatic coastlines, and on Jura, but especially on Islay - legendary distilleries which produce distinctively peaty whisky. This book aims to help you get the most from your visit to these islands. Most of the 40 walks are half a day or shorter, with many suitable for families, but there are also a few more challenging hill walks for those who can't resist the allure of reaching an island summit.

He lives in the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands.In 2003-4 Paul undertook a 4,000 mile continuous walk across Europe with his wife Helen.He is the co-founder of the award-winning Walkhighlands website, a social network and free online guide for walkers in Scotland.Helen's walking initiation began with enforced parental rambles and progressed through the Ten Tors expeditions on Dartmoor as a school pupil to the completion of a 4000-mile backpack across Europe with Paul in 2003-4. Helen is a firm believer that travelling on foot allows you to meet people and see things that would otherwise be overlooked and it's with this attitude that she co-founded the Scottish walker's website Walkhighlands in 2007. Originally from Devon, Helen has gradually been moving north and has lived and worked in the Scottish Highlands since 2005. She has co-authored 21 walking books about Scotland with Paul and is passionate about the need to conserve Scottish wild land while developing the local tourism industry to ensure that walkers visit time and time again to discover the huge variety of walks out there.
