Highlands and Skye hiking was great! The weather was “bumpy”, as guide called it. But Angela was very good at tweaking the hiking days to get the max best conditions possible for each hike.
Accommodations were very good - especially after the wetter hiking days.
Overall, the hikes were challenging, with elevation gain/loss and rocky or muddy trail (or off-trail) surface.
The whole Scottish experience was memorable!
