A guidebook to 80 walks in the highlands of Perthshire. Exploring the beautiful scenery of Scotland's south-eastern Grampians, the walks are suitable for most walkers, with shorter routes alongside plenty of more challenging, full-day hikes.

The walks range from 3 to 45km (2–28 miles) and can be enjoyed in 1–13 hours. April to August is the best walking time for all routes, with April and May the best of all. Highlights include Ben Lawers, Rannoch Moor and Schiehallion, and the routes can easily be accessed from Perth and Crianlarich. Other centres include Comrie, Crieff, Aberfeldy, Killin, Dunkeld, Pitlochry and Blair Atholl.
