Travelling in October means travelling at a time of year that promises quiet landscapes, ethereal light and amazing wildlife. In the forests, trees crackle the colour of flame, and bright red rosehips decorate the hedgerows. In the wild and lonely glens, red stags begin to roar, and syrupy sunshine casts a golden glow over the shore, moor and mountainside. With crisp, pink mornings and evenings made for roaring fires, October makes for a magical and unique time to travel.

Absolutely brilliant trip, incredible experience for so many reasons, looked after by Wilderness Scotland and our guides beyond expectation. Would totally use this company again for a quality experience that was extremely enjoyable on every level. Could not praise them enough. If you are considering doing this trip, do not hesitate or think too much, just book it. I am really glad that I did.
