The Walks
Join a small group of other guests for a sociable walking trip accompanied by experienced leaders. These are typically one-week long, include a free day and are based in a single country house hotel. We have Scottish walking tours every week April through October in Scotland, graded for different levels of activity.
Location in Scotland: Glencoe (Western Highlands) Magical mountains and tranquil lochs wait for you in the Highlands.
Teamed with famous summits such as Ben Nevis, unspoilt wilderness and chances to see the ‘Harry Potter’ Jacobite Steam train, we won’t blame you for wanting to come back time and time again.
Accommodation
We have carefully selected 4 star country house/hotel accommodation with private bath. All have good boot and drying room facilities, tea and coffee makers and dining room service. Our daily social program includes an informal house party atmosphere, great for making new friends. You spend your whole stay in one property.
Country House Based: You stay at one country house hotel for your entire stay. Most 1 week tours offer walks on 5 days during the week, departing at 9:30AM and spending about 5-7 hours walking, including stops. Wednesday is a free day, allowing you to do what you want, or to rest. The walks are categorized from short to long or from low to high level terrain, so there is something to suit every taste on each departure. The length of each days' walks depends on the level chosen, but can range from 2-12 miles or more. You can walk with one party level one day, and switch to another the next - it's entirely up to you.You don't have to stick to the same level throughout the week. You need not walk every day, if you don't want to.
| Munro Bagging (named after the gentleman who identified these peaks) The mountains around Glen Coe contain many fine munros, or summits over 3,000ft, far more than we can include in our Classic Walking programme. On this holiday we set out to 'bag' some of the others; perhaps the Ben Starav Horseshoe; Stob Gabhar; and Sgor na h-Ulaidh. Whether you are attempting to tick off all 284 Munros, or just want a week of superb mountain walks, a memorable and challenging week is assured. 8 to 10 miles with up to 4,800ft of ascent. Ask for details. |

Western Highlands - Glen Coe Sea lochs. Narrow ridges. The highest mountains in Britain.
Exhilarating. Wooded glens. Red deer. Classic scrambling. Great food. A sense of history. Scotland doesn’t get any more dramatic than the West Highlands. Glen Coe lies at the heart of the Highlands amid some of Britain’s finest and highest mountains and is famous for its dark history of the massacre of the MacDonalds. Glen Coe has dramatic glens, with jagged ridges and many post-glacial features to explore. Close to our base and waiting to be conquered is Ben Nevis, Britain's highest peak at 4,408 feet. If Ben Nevis is too challenging there are plenty of other rewarding walks on our popular guided walking holidays, through the Nevis Gorge to Steall Falls, visiting the Isle of Lismore or following the zigzags of the Devil’s Staircase built in 1751 after the Jacobite risings. •The best mountain walking in Britain •Lochside location with splendid mountain views •New indoor swimming pool and spa pool BY RAIL: To Glasgow station.
