Oban and North Argyll: 40 Favourite Walks by Keith Fergus
As well as many great sea lochs, tumbling rivers and iconic mountains, Oban and North Argyll also boasts ancient, wildlife-rich woodlands and several fine gardens. Add to this the Crinan Canal, often described as 'the most beautiful shortcut in Scotland', and some of the most important historical and archaeological sites in the country and you have all the makings of a fascinating walking destination. From the harbourside bustle of Oban to the ancient peace of Kilmartin Glen, this guide in the series from Pocket Mountains features 40 walks over varied landscapes that take in the very best the 'Coastland of the Gaels' has to offer.
Keith Fergus is a passionate walker, writer and photographer. His writing on the outdoors, Scottish history and the Scottish language – combined with his striking imagery – has been published in a variety of national magazines, newspapers, calendars and brochures. He also has two photographic books to his name. Keith has walked all over Scotland, with the mountains and coast particular favourites. Growing up in Glasgow the Ayrshire coast was the most natural (and nearest) place to visit and the best place to enjoy his passions of walking and photography; it still ranks high among his favourite destinations. Over 30 years of visiting and exploring means he has an intimate knowledge of the region, its incredible history, diverse wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Keith lives with his wife and two children on the outskirts of Glasgow. Passionate about the outdoors and the crucial role it plays – particularly in modern life – he is never happier than when wandering along a mountain ridge or across a secluded beach. He also runs his own photographic business which, under the banner of Scottish Horizons www.scottishhorizons.co.uk, produces a range of postcards, greetings cards and calendars. Keith is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
