Travel Tips for Scotland Hiking Tour
- Dress in layers as Scotland is known for its unpredictable weather conditions. Expect sudden fluctuations and sudden bursts of rain, fog and strong gusts of wind.
- Familiarize yourself with the concept and location of Hiker’s Bothies. These are basic shelters where you can seek refuge in case of bad weather conditions.
- Plan and book hiking tours months in advance, as accommodation options are almost always booked out from May to September.
- Protect yourself from “highland midges” as they can leave small bites that are uncomfortable and itchy. Carry a midge repellent or apply insect repellent balms all over the body.
