Running Adventures Scotland by Ross Brannigan contains 25 inspirational and fun running routes, the majority of which are between 10 and 29 kilometres in length, exploring the best of the Highlands and the Lowlands.

Running in Scotland is all about being immersed in the landscape - whether you're up high on a ridge, on a tranquil forest track or negotiating a technical descent - it all adds up to be an unforgettable experience. This book will open up adventures for you across Scotland - follow in the footsteps of runners on the route of the Pentland Skyline Race, enjoy an epic day out on the stunning Sgurr na Stri on Skye or tackle the iconic Ring of Steall. The runs are organised into five geographical areas; there is also a bonus section with three longer routes (ranging from 63 to 153 kilometres), for those looking to take their running to the next level on a longer or multi-day adventure.

Each route includes all the information you need to help you plan your run, interesting background information about the local area, types of terrain covered, and refreshment recommendations, in addition to detailed directions, stunning photography and overview mapping. Downloadable GPX files of the routes are also available. There are also suggestions for other routes in the area, information on relevant conservation organisations as well as a quote from a local runner to add context to the route. Let Running Adventures Scotland take you on an unforgettable journey around the best of Scotland's stunning landscapes.
