Scotland Hiking and Trekking Tours
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.

The West Highland Way fulfilled every one of my dreams about seeing the Scottish Highlands. It was wonderful that all the accommodations and luggage transfer were reserved for me ahead of time and all I had to do was just walk up! Everywhere I stayed was run/owned by such nice people and I never had a bad meal!

A wee walk in the woods! Blessed with wonderful weather, the wet gear stayed packed and the sunscreen came out. Wonderful scenery and we met some nice fellow walkers along the way. Lots of variety with canal boat "lock action", activities at Ft Augustus, tall mast yachts passing through the forest, dark forest trails on pine needles, and "goat tracks" above the tree line looking down on the lochs. The app worked perfectly, as did the luggage transfer. The accommodation hosts were friendly, informative and often went "above and beyond". It is more "moderate" than "introductory". 130km, 190,000 steps, 1540m ascent, highest 426m a.s.l. so a bit of training might be needed.

The Great Glen Way was a beautiful trail to do as a first time solo hiker. The first couple of days fairly easy going before getting into steeper longer sections in the second half. Spectacular views of Loch Ness. Take the high route options whenever you can. The guesthouses were a highlight - cosy rooms and welcoming hosts always up for a chat. Luggage transfer worked seamlessly. Maps easy to follow and the trail was well signposted.

Excellent trip. We were fully prepared for what was in store and accommodations were decent. Note for travelers from North America. Hotels and Guest Houses are not like what we are used to in terms of A/C and size but that is typical in Europe.

The trip went very smoothly--our bags were moved along to each place where we were staying in a timely manner. All accommodations were excellent in every instance. It was a stress-free walking trip!

The barge and walk the Great Glen Way was a wonderful experience. This was my eighth trip with them and as always, every detail was well organized and the trip ran exactly as described. As a bonus the weather, fellow walkers, our guide Lexi and the food were all just perfect.
