'The Stevenson Way is not way-marked like the West Highland Way and is very much a wilderness walk. You must be: self-reliant; an experienced hill-walker; able to use a map & compass; properly equipped for the terrain and the weather; conversant with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code e.g. deer stalking and wild camping. The route itself covers a wide variety of terrain and while Robert Louis Stevenson gives some excellent detail e.g. the island of Erraid, much of the book is deliberately vague. This gives great scope for a variety of routes! ...'
