Wilderness Walking - The Orkney Isles
We've just gotten back home and are already thinking of signing up for the Skye, Harris, Lewis hike next August, 2017. We'll probably make the commitment soon, even though it's difficult and risky to make plans so far in advance.

Wilderness Walking - The West Highland Way
It was a great experience hiking 96 miles on WHW. Wilderness Scotland did a great job to provide that experience. I will certainly use its services again for more walks in the future.
