Walks in Argyll and Bute, by Mary Welsh and Christine Isherwood, Clan Books, £6.99.
MARY Welsh is well-known among nature lovers and holiday walkers for her informative and entertaining guides to Britain's favourite scenic destinations and particularly to Westmorland Gazette readers for her fortnightly walks.
She has teamed up with artist Christine Isherwood on this new book, Walks in Argyll and Bute, which features more than 40 walks exploring the whole length of mainland Argyll and following down through Cowal to the Isle of Bute.
The book is an ideal companion for visitors to this beautiful and sometimes neglected corner of Scotland, and expeditions range from modest coastal strolls to strenuous mountain ascents, taking in many archaeological relics along the way.
Welsh and Isherwood convey their joy in the rich variety of wildlife they encounter during their travels, and the book is attractively illustrated.
