Treks and Guided Walks

Highlights of The Hebridean Way

The Outer Hebrides are a special part of the British Isles, encompassing 15 inhabited and over 50 uninhabited islands. The wet, windswept and rocky landscape, fringed with long sandy beaches and precious machair, holds a magic that can't really be found elsewhere.

The Hebridean Way joins Vatersay in the South with Stornoway, on Lewis, in the North. We take a 'highlights of' approach to this trek, selecting the sections we think you will most enjoy. Underfoot can be very challenging with plenty of boggy rough ground to negotiate - this is most certainly a route where waterproof boots and gaiters come into there own. However, the effort to walk through this terrain is more than made up for by the incredible views.

Our 7 walking days will cover 84 miles with a fantastic variety of hill, valley and coastal walking. We will walk along those long stretches of sandy beaches, pass historical sites and visit many of the small villages of the islands. Counter to convention we walk the route North to South, but as with all our treks we have vehicle support allowing us to make changes to our itinerary should the weather dictate.

Scottish National Trail: Stage 4

At nearly 540 miles the Scottish National Trail is no small undertaking. From the foothills of the Cheviot in Kirk Yetholm to the wild Cape Wrath, the North-West tip of Scotland, this long-distance trail truly has it all. Over 3 summers (2022-2024) we will be walking the length of Scotland in 6 stages. We invite you to join us for all or part of this incredible journey.

Stage 4 leaves Kingussie by reversing a section of the East Highland Way through Glen Banchor. The route is followed through to Laggan, then Garva Bridge, before a big up-and-over on the Corrieyairack Pass to Fort Augustus. The following 3 days are shorter, but not without their challenges underfoot, as the route heads west before turning north for Loch Cluanie. One last day through the mountains of Kintail poses the final challenge before the we finish stage 4 in Morvich.

Scottish National Trail: Stage 3

At nearly 540 miles the Scottish National Trail is no small undertaking. From the foothills of the Cheviot in Kirk Yetholm to the wild Cape Wrath, the North-West tip of Scotland, this long-distance trail truly has it all.

Stage 3 begins in Aberfeldy following the Tay on the Rob Roy way passed the rapids of Grandtully, over the moors to Pitlochry and then upstream by the River Garry to Blair Atholl. From here things become a little wilder and we will be spending 3 days and 2 nights backpacking through the Cairngorms to reach Kingussie and the end of the stage.

Kingshouse & The Buachailles

The famous scene that greets travellers arriving in Glen Coe from across Rannoch Moor, whether on foot or by car, is the towering Buachaille Etive Mòr . The most photographed mountain in Scotland guards the entrance to Glen Coe itself and is a playground for climbers and walkers alike. The Kingshouse Hotel & Bunkhouse is steeped in the mountaineering history of 'The Big Buachaille' and will be our base as we attempt to summit its 2 Munros, as well as the neighbouring Munros of 'The Wee Buachaille'. Despite Buachaille translating as "herdsman", rather than herd we will aim to guide, encourage and support you to complete the challenge of bagging these 4 Munros.

We provide you with a qualified Mountain Leader, who will guide you to the rocky tops of these magnificent mountains. We also organise your accommodation (choice of hotel or bunkhouse), so all you need to do is concentrate on the walk itself.

Lochnagar & Upper Deeside

Based in Braemar in the north-east Scotland we will explore the mountains and glens of the eastern Cairngorms. This hillwalking holiday will give you a chance to bag a few Munros, explore ancient Scots Pine woodland, and walk in the footsteps of royalty. With accommodation taken care of and the guiding in the hands of one our excellent UK Mountain Leaders, you can just relax and enjoy the walking.

St Cuthbert's Way is a 100km (62.5 mile) trek which begins at Melrose Abbey and finishes on Holy Island, just off the Northumberland coast. The trail follows in St Cuthbert's 7th century footsteps through the rolling borderlands of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The trek culminates in a unique finish across the tidal causeway to Holy Island. It offers a fantastic introduction to long distance walking; a route steeped in historical and cultural interest, we take our time so we can take it all in during 6 days of walking.
