  • Planning to Walk The
    Planning to walk the Way The Way begins in Milngavie near Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, then passes through its first National Park along the shores of its largest loch. Loch Lomond forms a water- bridge spanning the Lowlands and Highlands, with unique geology and wildlife. After 95 miles of superb scenery, the Way ends in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. Some of the walking is straightforward, along tracks, drovers’ paths and old military roads. Some of it can be very rough or boggy underfoot. Other parts can be very exposed and must be taken seriously. If you are not experienced in long-distance walking, read the section for Novices: see page 12. In advance of tackling the Way, most people will benefit from several long day walks, to test their feet, their gear and their fitness. No such walk should be undertaken casually, because the weather in Scotland is so unpredictable. On any given day, you may experience weather typical of any season, and perhaps of all four. This adds charm and variety to the experience, but also makes it important to have the right equipment: see pages 14-15. This book has been planned in the recommended direction, from south to north, and the drop-down map (back cover) follows this sequence. The gentle lowland gradients will help you to get into your stride before the more exposed and challenging northerly sections. Also, the prevailing wind is south-westerly, so you are more likely to have it behind you. South over Loch Lomond 5 6 How long will it take?

  • Helensburgh 2008
    An Appraisal of the Conservation Areas in Helensburgh 2008 i Here Here our Victorian ghosts are captured in their legacies of stone, the grace and glamour of their dwelling places, from a time when affluence was no sin. Here wood is lifted from mundane plank and turned to filigree, to stairflight, warm and resonant, or a burnished cherub may bare polished buttocks on a newel-post. Here the mere stacking of stone, palewash, staggered russet bricks and stained glass that sieves sunshine into bright rugs of light, all become style far beyond function. Here perhaps the breaths of genteel words echo in rooms we now cherish and, in attics stolen from long-lost maids, small sighs escape for pleasure at our newfangled reverence. Catriona Malan 2006 Foreword The Conservation Areas of Argyll and Bute are very special The unique feature of the way we are developing the new places. They give us firm connections with our past.
