Highland Discoveries Easy to Moderate grade

Historic Glencoe and Lochaber - 7 days.
The West Highland District of Lochaber, which includes Glen Coe and Fort William, is blessed with magnificent mountains, a deeply indented coastline, and a rich heritage. This holiday offers straight forward, easy walking to modest hiking, while still giving the opportunity to sample the best of the area’s mountain and sea views, as well as providing an insight into the area’s culture and sometimes bloody history.

Isle of Skye Discovery - 7 Days.
A week long walking holiday to the most famous of all the Scottish Islands - Skye. Wild coastal scenery, jagged mountain ranges and a wealth of history make this an easy choice of destination for a week's walking and the chance to explore the many different aspects of this fantastic island.

Big Highland Tour! - 14 days.
A fabulous 2 week walking, hiking and cultural tour covering some of the best scenery to be found in the highlands of Scotland. From the southern to western highlands, the isle of Skye and the northwest highlands, this tour includes highlights from many of our other holidays and will still leave you longing for more!

Heart of the Highlands - 7 Days.
This centre-based walking holiday in particular recognises the fact that many walkers appreciate the rugged beauty that mountain days in Scotland offer but equally appreciate the contrast of a comfortable hotel, good food and a dram in front of a roaring log fire while discussing their day.

North-West Highlands - 7 days.
Experience the grandeur of the North West Highlands with our walking holiday based at Torridon and Assynt. In this part of Scotland, you are never far from either the sea or some of the finest mountainscapes in the land. The rugged mountainous coastline, fine white beaches and views of the offshore islands have been an inspiration to many and the relaxing pace of life always leaves you refreshed and longing to return.

Western Lochs and Highlands - 7 days.
Experience the variety and beauty of Scotland with our week long walking holiday based at Loch Lomond and Glen Coe. You will explore the forests, lochs and hills of the Trossachs and Loch Lomond, the striking looking Cobbler, the wild expanses of Rannoch Moor and finally the grand scenery of Glen Coe.

Walking

Glencoe Exposed - 7 days.
Enclosed by its steep, notched, and twisting ridges and surrounded by some of the Western Highland 's most rugged mountains, Glen Coe is justifiably famous for its exhilarating hiking, scrambling and mountaineering and is a must for the enthusiastic and fit hill walker.

Torridon Giants - 7 days.
Our return to the wild and remote Torridon Area of the Western Highlands of Scotland provides some exhilarating walking and scrambling on one of the most breathtaking collections of ridges and mountains on mainland Scotland.

A magical week that more than met expectations. We had seven (yes, 7!)
unbelievably spectacular days of solid sunshine we were just so lucky. A very well organised but laid-back style week. Thank you, Dave, for being so patient on exposed and tricky bits (read Stac Pollaidh). Great fun, and don't forget the stacks of food. Downsizing calorie intake may be a problem.
PS We need a collective noun for views which come thick and fast. RC, Australia, September 2004

Thanks for such an enjoyable, exhilarating, excellent and absolutely
fabulous vacation (holiday). The places you took us were (in my opinion) a great sampling of this part of your beautiful country. Thank you for your kindness, promptness, caring, and your great sense of humour. I have had the time of my life, and look forward to coming back to The Mother Land Soon!!! If you are ever in America, please look me up but I can promise I won't be able to show you as good a time as you have shown me. SR, USA, Western Lochs and Highlands, May 2003

Wow! Scotland is a beautiful awesome place, but it's the people you meet that make it really grand. Thanks, Paul, for taking such good care of us. JL, USA, Western Lochs and Highlands, June 2004
