' ... Each excursion is brilliantly presented and illustrated ... Each and every excursion has been superbly researched and are easy to follow ... Go out and grab this book now ... I'd give this guide six stars if I could, it really is that good!' Down to Earth

Kathryn Goodenough and Maarten Krabbendam have been working on the geological survey of the North-West Highlands for a decade. They and their colleagues have produced new 1:50,000 scale geological maps for the area described in this guide, as well as writing a range of scientific papers and other publications about the geology of this region.
