The Ochils

This collection of 40 routes covers all the main summits as well as the magnificant glens and the two rivers of the Ochils, the Allan and the Devon, which transect them. 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 dramataic 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 battlesites, making the Ochils a walker's paradise.
