Highland Days

Born in 1914, Tom Weir was in the first generation of working-class outdoor men in Scotland, and began tramping the hills and mountains near Glasgow whenever he could escape from the grocery where he worked. Written while he was in the British army, 'Highland Days' is Weir's classic autobiographical account of his early climbing experiences -- he had already scaled over 300 Munros by the time war broke out in 1939.
