Scotland Hiking and Trekking Tours 2024/2025

Scotland is awash with spell-binding natural landscapes, from the Highlands to the Orkney Islands. And there is no better way to soak up these scenic, soul-stirring surroundings than on our Scotland hiking tours. So lace up your hiking boots and get ready to trek the length and breadth of this amazing nation. Craving some tranquil Highland hikes? Trek the Highland Trail on a 14-day walking adventure. Inspired by the hit 2014 Netflix series Outlander, this epic excursion encapsulates the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. If a long-distance trek down to England appeals, try the eight-day St Cuthbert’s Way. This cross-country foray winds between highlights like Cheviot Hills, Lindisfarne Castle and Holy Island. Alternatively, the Orkney Islands are a trekking mecca for their seal colonies and towering sandstone cliffs. And way up north, treks departing Ullapool traverse pristine lochs and fjords. Island-hopping treks combine ferries and two-footed transport, while walk and barge hiking holidays in Scotland let you overnight on a comfy river ship.

“This was our second great trip with Sherpa. In the future, we will always explore the Sherpa option, if available, first before booking any other hiking trips. We loved the inns that we stayed at. Good rooms with good dining options. Great friendly people at the inns. Very helpful”

“Sherpa Expeditions makes hiking a pleasure by arranging the logistics so efficiently, leaving walkers to simply enjoy the experience. One important example of Sherpa efficiency is the arrangements they make to assure luggage gets to where it needs to be at the end of each day.”

Highlights of Scotland Hiking Tour

Get a slice of Outlander life on a Netflix-inspired jaunt across the epic Highland Trail. History, culture, scenery and TV familiarity make for a memorable trip.

Travel tips for Scotland Hiking Tour

Pack for all seasons because the Scottish weather is unpredictable. Even mid-summer excursions can get ravaged by bone-chilling winds and sideways rain (or both).
Bring plenty of wet weather gear because you will likely encounter rain in Scotland.
Wear sturdy hiking boots to tackle uneven terrain and unrelenting muddy bogs. Trekkers with questionable knees should bring a pair of hiking poles.
Choose your itinerary carefully and undertake adequate pre-trek training. Some of our Scotland hiking tours are not suitable for beginners.
Think twice about hiking alone through rugged mountainous terrain, as inclement weather can strike anytime. Joining one of our Scottish trekking tours is the safer option.
