Islay - walking resources

Hi all,

We'll be on Islay for several days in 2016 and I was wondering if anyone has any favorite guidebooks specifically for walking on Islay. Or if you've hired a guide who/what company did you use and how did you like it/him/her?

Many thanks!

Perhaps you underestimate our ability to get lost!

But you're probably right. We have our OS Explorer maps (waterproof) good hiking shoes and raincoats.

If you have the explorer maps and know how to read a map you will be fine (unless you get thick fog!)

The Explorer maps are brilliant as they have so much detail.

Perfect excuse to buy a better compass!
