50 reviews on bookmundi

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.

Scotland Trekking and Hiking Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Scotland tours

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.

The walk and barge Scotland was fantastic. One needs to be in quite good physical shape as the hills could be a challenge. You definitely need good comfortable hiking boots as some trails were rocky.

Highlights of Scotland Hiking Tour

  • Challenge yourself to St Cuthbert’s Way, a 100-kilometer trekking trail from Melrose to Lindisfarne.
  • Trek between gorgeous Highland towns like Dochgarroch and Drumnadrochit on the epic Coast to Coast Walk. Come nightfall, retire in a comfy river barge for a restful sleep.
  • Savor the breathtaking landscapes of the Orkney Islands, where sky-high coastal cliffs loom over squawking sea lion colonies. This is among our most popular Scotland Hiking Tours.
  • 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.
