Description: This is the first definitive sport climbing guide for Scotland, written by 18 of the leading Scottish sport climbers. The guidebook includes 1300 routes, from grades 3 to 9a spread across over 100 crags from the Central Belt to Shetland and Arisaig to Aberdeen. It is lavishly illustrated with action photos for each main crag, easy-to-use maps and photo diagrams, and a colour-coded route grading system. The guide covers sport climbing as well all Scotland's world-class 'dry tooling' routes. The landscape format is designed to lay open at the crags, and the cover flaps contain useful reference information for those new to sport climbing as well as climbers visiting from other countries. Sport climbing has a wider audience than traditional climbing; with quick drying accessible crags, it suits the busy modern climber and the family-friendly climbing day.

  • Waterstones Playing with Teeth

    Price: £16.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: On the afternoon of 10 June 2018, Edinburgh became the centre of the cricketing world. Scotland's first-ever win over England not only proved the team's ability to go toe-to-toe with the best players on the planet, it also completed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the history of Scottish sport. In a country known more for its hard luck stories than its triumphs, the victory was about more than a single result: it showed that Scotland's cricketers had discovered what it took to win. Playing with Teeth follows their journey to get there. Beginning with the disastrous campaign at the qualifier for the 2014 World T20, the book describes the cultural changes that unlocked the team's potential and enabled them to move on from the narrative of glorious failure that was so often the story of the past. Based on extended interviews with those at the heart of the action, Playing with Teeth records a unique time in the history of Scottish cricket while also providing a blueprint from which the whole of Scottish sport can learn.
