Between Edinburgh and Glasgow is an area resonant in romance, history and invention. The moors above Stirling and the carseland surrounding its magnificent castle set the scene for a number of landmark battles, while Falkirk played a leading role in Scotland's Industrial Revolution and is today the home of some of the country's most innovative and popular attractions. These 25 walks explore the picturesque places around Stirling and Falkirk, from the windswept drama of bare hills to the tranquil setting of canals, lochs, reservoirs, and riversides.

The book begins with an excellent short introduction to the area today and its history. Each of the walks begins with details of distance, time, terrain, and access to the start. The text which follows provides a detailed commentary of the route, including places and events important to the history and culture of the area.
