Walking holidays in Scotland
Mountains and Munros, scenic railways, coastal paths, and big skies take centre stage in Scotland - the bonnie nation that has long inspired a line-up of artists, writers, and poets to muse about the Scottish Highlands and islands. Scottish walking holidays showcase everything from centuries-old castles and heather-covered glens to a couple of fabulous national parks. And they’re not bad for lovers of fine whiskies, either.
If you’re up for a challenge, little beats tackling Ben Nevis – the 1,345-metre-high peak towering above glistening lochans and glacial valleys in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. Further thrills include riding the Hogwarts Express-style Jacobite steam train as it makes its way to the fishing port of Mallaig.

What to see in Scotland
The Scottish Highlands are a natural marvel, the inspiration for stories and songs for centuries with its towering mountains, serene lochs, and expansive glens. The Highlands are home to some of the most well-known natural attractions in the British Isles such as the world-famous Loch Ness and Ben Nevis, the hightest peak in the UK.
Off of the mainland, the timeless Isle of Skye enchants visitors with its fairy pools, rugged cliffs, and quaint villages, while Orkney and Shetland present striking backdrops for coastal walks. Our guided trail on the long-distance West Highland Way takes walkers from Milngavie to Fort William to enjoy views of Loch Lomond at the heart of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
