The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

It's hard to express how meaningful hiking the Scottish Highlands is to me. I highly recommend the Wilderness Scotland Wilds of Assynt Walking tour to anyone who hikes frequently. The scenery was breathtaking and different on each hike. It had the highest challenge rating in the average range of hikes with Wilderness Scotland and in our group of women in our '40's- '60s we accomplished & enjoyed every single one of the hikes. A small day pack is all that was needed to carry our lunch, water and rain gear if needed each day. Wilderness Scotland provided a thorough list of hiking gear suitable for this tour. I hope I can do another WS tour in the near future. Forever grateful

I left the trip ready and excited to plan another one - the first thing I did when arriving home was tell my boyfriend that we needed to go back!

The Bottom Line

Pre-Trip Service

We had So Many Questions, and you answered them all - both close to departure date, and when we booked. The response to last-minute emergencies that came up for our co-travelers due to Storm Amy was amazing. Plus, the information was clearly communicated to everyone who needed to know it. You even answered questions DURING the trip!

Trip Comments

The hikes were stunning (despite clouds, stinging rain, and blustery winds). They were well-chosen to be challenging, but not beyond our level, and the landscapes were gorgeous.

Accommodation & Food

First of all, the fact that you even FOUND accommodations for us on the first night when we couldn't get to the Isle of Skye was amazing. My only complaint about the lodging is that the room at Hotel Eilean Iarmain was decidedly musty smelling and the bed was softer than I like. But it was an adorable room, terrific location and the food was outstanding. The Hotel Uig was splendid in every way, from the view, to the comfort of the bed, to the food.

Your Guide

If I could give a higher rating than Excellent, I would! This trip was challenging on so many levels - and Jamie just rolled with it and made sure we had a fantastic time. He maintained good humor while solving problems in the face of tremendous adversity, with support from the whole Wilderness Scotland Team! (Who knew there would be a terrible storm that blocked roads and knocked electricity out to most of Skye??) Furthermore, Jamie was able to customize the hikes he chose for us so that everyone had a good experience - from intrepid hikers who could do anything, to those of us who needed more time and less challenging routes. His comprehensive knowledge about the geology of the region, its wildlife, and the history and folklore made the trip even more fun. I simply cannot say enough positive things about Jamie.

The Bottom Line

This was the trip of a lifetime - definitely on our bucket list - and Wilderness Scotland did not disappoint. This was our second trip with Wilderness Scotland, and I did not think it was possible to enjoy a trip as much as we enjoyed our first trip, but it turns out that it was indeed possible! There were some incredibly challenging logistics the week we were there (the aftermath of Storm Amy in early October 2025), and despite the challenges, we had a fantastic time. The support of our guide, and the entire Wilderness Scotland team, was tremendous. Our guide was knowledgeable, resourceful, and above all - good-humoured. We hope to come back for another trip - I cannot imagine another outfit providing a better experience!
