The Ochils 40 Favourite Walks Pocket Guidebook

author: Douglas Milne
Known to the ancient people of Central Scotland as uchel - 'the high place'- the long upland massif of the Ochils rises between the River Forth and the Southern Highlands, with a dramatic escarpment running between the cities of Stirling and Perth. The High rounded hills are cleaved by steep sided ravines and dotted with castles, standing stones, burial mounds, hillforts, and battle sites, making the Ochils a walker's paradise.

This collection of 40 routes covers all the main summits, as well as the magnificent glens and the two rivers, the Allan and the Devon, which transect them. Each walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time, terrain, parking, and public transport access where available. Clear route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest along the way and there are colour photographs throughout.

The walks are arranged into five geographical sections:
Dunblane and the West
The Hillforts
Glen Devon and Glen Eagles
Dunning Glen and the east
Blackford and Auchterarder
