Guided walking holidays and hiking tours in Scotland

Due to the restrictions imposed by the Scottish Government to prevent the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19, we won't run our walking holidays in May, June and July 2020. We hope to be able to resume our holiday programme in August. We do have places from August onwards and you are very welcome to book your holiday with us. If we still won't be able to run the holiday you have booked, you can transfer your booking to 2021. We will transfer the money you already paid to this holiday and the 2020 price will apply for the holiday you'll transfer to.

There is no better way to discover Scotland than on foot, which is the ultimate way of slow travel. The slow pace lends itself to exploration and lets you experience our beautiful country at its best, finding hidden treasures undiscovered by most visitors.

Featured walking holidays

We offer you

An attractive, well-thought-out walking programme

Walks and hikes to remote and quiet places undiscovered by most tourists. You can enjoy historical, natural and geological themes  along with the pure pleasure of walking.

Confidence that you are going the right way

Our well-qualified, well-informed and enthusiastic guides will look after you. They’ll do their best to make your holiday interesting and memorable. Each of them lives in Scotland, knows it well and has some special interest in its environment. They all very much enjoy sharing this knowledge.
All our guides have mountain leadership and first aid qualifications, with experience of leading groups of various ages over all sorts of ground in all weathers and seasons.

Small groups

Carefully selected and comfortable accommodation

You can rely on the quality of the accommodation that we find for you - its comfort, its food and the professionalism and welcoming nature of those who run it.

Road transport in our minibus and transport by ferries, (charter) boats and trains

We collect you from Glasgow (city centre or airport) on your first day and take you back at the end of your holiday. Throughout your holiday we also provide local transport as needed, evenings included.

Visits to museums and other places of interest

Entrance fees are included where these are an integral part of your programme.

Get-togethers in the evening

In your hotel or a variety of carefully selected restaurants and pubs to set the scene for the next day's walking. If evening meals are not included in the price, your guide will always take you somewhere good. We usually eat in a different place each evening, giving you the opportunity to try a range of Scottish dishes and ambiences.

and most especially

Personal care and attention in all that we do for you.

We can plan itineraries for anywhere in Scotland: Highlands & Islands, Dumfries & Galloway, the Borders, Inner and Outer Hebrides/Western Isles, Skye, Orkney and Shetland Isles. These can be themed as you wish. More information on our private guided holidays page.
