Skye and Northwest Scotland

The Yachtsman's Pilot to Skye and Northwest Scotland
By: Martin Lawrence

This pilot covers the most remote areas of the west coast of Scotland between Ardnamurchan Point and Cape Wrath and the Island of Skye. Martin Lawrence has completely revised the text and for this edition has added new photographs taken from both the air and sea. The most significant improvement is the use of full colour throughout the work which brings a new clarity to the photographs and harbour plans. MARTIN LAWRENCE who has spent many years sailing on the West Coast of Scotland, is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation. He is well-known as the author of the Yachtsmans Pilot series.

It is also further evidence that this publisher is far ahead of its rivals in presentation of information for the yachtsman. The Yachtsman's Pilot to Skye and NW Scotland is a revelation in clarity. The layout is excellent with line drawings and chartlets on the same page and often with a photograph making it useful to have on deck when eyeballing. This book is an essential item on any boat ruising north of Ardnamurchan Point.
