Our Highland Escapes are self-guided walking holidays, based at one or two small hotels from where you can enjoy some of the best walking in Scotland. Each day you decide which route to follow and enjoy a circular hike exploring, for example, the forests of the Cairngorms, the glens of Skye or the coastline around Cape Wrath. Returning to your hotel in the evening, you can relax with dinner and perhaps a glass of wine and a wee dram of whisky. If you want to explore more than one area on your trip, simply combine two or three of the itineraries for a grand tour of Scotland.
The West Highland Way, the Great Glen Way and the Speyside Way are some of the finest long distance hiking trails in the world. Taking on the challenge of one of these trekking routes allows you to experience the magnificent scenery of the Scottish Highlands at your own pace, moving to a new destination each day. These are self-guided walking holidays but we make all arrangements for you including your accommodation each night and a daily baggage transfer. We also provide you with route notes and maps, and a 24-hour support service. Let us take the strain so that you just need to enjoy the scenery!
Leave the car at home and enjoy a self-guided walking holiday in Scotland, using trains, ferries and your legs to get around! This innovative range of walking holidays visits locations which can be accessed by public transport, so is an environmentally friendly way to holiday in Scotland. We'll arrange your accommodation, assist with your travel plans and provide you with route notes for wonderful walks which you can enjoy straight from the door. As well as being a green holiday, it is also perfect for overseas visitors who do not want to drive on the wrong side of the road! It is worth noting that it is possible to enjoy any of the Long Distance Trails without a car too.
We understand that many people enjoy walking in Scotland but also like treating themselves from time to time - we feel the same! With our Highland Luxury breaks, you can now do both together. These self-guided walking holidays are based from Scotland's very best Highland hotels so after a day in the outdoors, you can return to your hotel and indulge in some pampering, whether that is a spa, a gourmet dinner or a rare Highland malt whisky enjoyed next to a roaring fire. On these romantic breaks, we can also arrange privately-guided activities such as sea-kayaking, mountain biking or wildlife walks.
