About Us:
Based in Ullapool and with 20 years of experience we are p roud to be the leading walking holiday & hiking vacation organiser in the northwest Highlands, Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. Since our first walking trip in Scotland our aim remains the same: to use our local knowledge and expertise to take you to unspoilt places amid impressive Highland scenery with experienced walking leaders, and to exceed your expectations.
As anyone who has been with us before will confirm, it pays to walk the spectacular Scottish hills with an expert guide; not only do our guides take you over routes that you are unlikely to have discovered yourself, but they also focus on the area's wildlife and landscape, pointing out features that you may well have missed had you walked on your own.
The professionalism and enthusiasm of our friendly, knowledgeable leaders ensure that your walking holiday will be an experience you'll want to repeat. And it is to their credit that so many clients do remain loyal to our company and return year after year.
What we offer:
We offer a range of gruided walking trips covering moderate, intermediate and strenuous grades. Our trips are spread across 4 geographic areas:
- Northwest Mainland
- The northern most part of the Scottish mainland holds some of the country's most spectacular scenery: a classic combination of bare mountains, remote glens, dark lochs and tumbling rivers. The inspiring landscape, the tranquility and space that it offers are without doubt the main attractions, yet you may still be surprised at how remote much of it is. The vast peat bogs in the north, for example, are among the most extensive and unspoilt areas in Europe. Steeped in history there are many remains of the Picts, Norsemen and mighty clans that once ruled the country.
- Harris & Lewis (Outer Hebrides)
- Boasting some of the country's most alluring scenery, a trip to any of these fascinating islands will not disappoint you. Harris, for example, best known for the world famous tweed, has superb beaches which are so white, clean and often empty that you forget you're actually still in the UK. The variety of plant and wildlife is exceptional. The golden sands of South Harris are a contrast to the wild, inhospitable mountains in the north, but the scenery is equally breathtaking.
- Orkney, Shetland and the Faroes
- Far up towards the Arctic Circle lie Orkney, Shetland, and, even higher up, the Faroe Islands. With their distinctive geography, history and culture, they differ not only from mainland Scotland but also from each other. Be overwhelmed by their gentle pace of life, the long summer days with endless skies, abundant birdlife and the meadows rich with wildflowers.
- Isle of Skye and Other Islands
- Skye is famed for its spectacular mountain ranges and mystical island ambience The Red and Black Cuillins, Britain's most spectacular ridges, are all about strain & challenge and skills are required for our Intermediate and Strenuous holidays based here.
- Mull is a variety of sandy beaches and cliffs. The third largest island of the Hebrides, it offers a diversity of volcanic landscape, beauty and wildlife, such as otters, seals and puffins.
Within each of the above areas we offer a variety of guided walks to suit your ability and aspirations. Please contact us using the form below to receive a list of the specific walks which are available - over the year we run approximately 60 walks.
