Our Highland Countryside Rangers offer more events than these advertised, and will do private events by request. If there is something you are really interested in but cannot find, why not get in touch and see what your local Countryside Ranger can do for you? Our rangers have listed 5 special places, as ideas on where to go and what to see in their area – come and try them out, in our Homecoming Year. Together with our partners we are encouraging visitors into Scotland’s natural stunning beauty and biodiversity, promoting ways in which we can all enjoy our beautiful wildlife, landscapes, and heritage. Our programme in 2014 gives you details of hundreds of events such as guided walks, archaeology trails, story-telling, wildlife talks and family events for all interests and levels of fitness. We aim to help raise awareness and encourage appreciation of the scenery, wildlife and particularly the heritage of the Highlands.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The use of numerical data for classification is discussed, and a cluster analysis of broch dimensions is presented. The three groups suggested by this analysis are examined in relation to geographical location, and to duns and 'broch-like' structures in Argyll.

    Foreword the Cateran Trail Offers a Great Wilderness Experience to Anybody Who Is Willing to Walk

    Foreword The Cateran Trail offers a great wilderness experience to anybody who is willing to walk. The Trail is under two hours from Scotland’s busy capital, but it has mountains, lochs and big skies, with three wonderful valleys to explore: Strathardle, Glen Shee and Glen Isla. It’s one of Scotland’s Great Trails, and its outstanding scenery and wildlife are made accessible by excellent waymarking. The area is blessed with historic hotels, welcoming B&Bs and fine local produce, and you are never more than seven miles from the nearest village. I grew up near Glen Shee and the mountains of Perthshire were my playground. This countryside formed me as a young explorer, and although I’ve since enjoyed adventurous travel in many continents, I always enjoy returning to Perthshire. I live very close to the Trail, and have walked it often. I completed 54 miles of the Cateran Yomp (see page 71) and in 2015 I was delighted to act as its Ambassador. More recently, my young sons have enjoyed sections of the Trail. In this edition, the publisher has given the Trail the splendid guidebook that it deserves. Mike Bell’s superb photographs let me discover afresh the scenery, moods and dramatic lighting of the Trail. The Footprint mapping is clear and convenient to use. And the text is concise and comprehensive, with lots of local detail. The Cateran Trail is waiting for you. Why not seize the moment?
