The synopsis reads: "With the rugged West Highland Way as the backdrop to the narrative, Sam writes a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to him—full of charming, funny, wise, and searching insights into the world through his eyes."

Chatting about the book, Sam previously admitted that he took on the journey to challenge himself, explaining: "Waypoints is a memoir with a difference!
