Rob Roy Way - 7 night independent walking holiday level 2-3
Our walking route transverses the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It is approx. 120 km  long and can be walked in 7 nights from west to east. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park was formed as Scotland’s first National Park in 2003. The Trossachs region to the east of the National Park is the so called ‘Rob Roy McGregor‘ country. Rob Roy a so called local hero in some historians eyes and a villain in others, as he roamed the Trossachs countryside rustling cattle from the English. He is buried only a few miles from the route and a short detour can be taken to his small grave in a tiny church graveyard. The region is filled with tales of his actions centuries ago. The region also has many great Lochs, Venachar, Lubnaig, Earn and Tay to name a few.

The Cateran Train - 6 night independent walking holiday level 2-3
The Cateran trail is a 64 mile (103 km) long and starts and finishes in the highland town of Blairgowrie. This trail was named after the 15th to 17th century castle rustlers of the region and follows ancient paths through glens, hills and farmland. The Cateran trail has been said by many whom have walked it to be one of the most beautiful Scottish walks often surpassing the West Highland Way. If you are looking for a lesser known walking trail with stunning secluded scenery then the Cateran trail may well be an ideal choice.

Island Trek - 7 Night Independent walking holiday - level 2
This hiking holiday takes you through the Isle of Arran, Islay and Jura. One of Scotland’s greatest scenic assets are its famous Western Isles. Often very remote, often a haven for wildlife and bird life, often very little explored by the tourist due to the lack of accommodation, limits the numbers of people who can visit. Our tour starts off on the Isle of Arran just off the west coast of Scotland and easily reached from Glasgow’s airports by train. Arran is known as Scotland in Miniature, this is so because the scenery has all that the whole of Scotland is famous for, dramatic coastlines of the west coast of Scotland, mountains and glens and rolling pastures to the south, mountains (highest 950m) to the north. After three days on Arran we shall have a day transferring to the Isle of Islay.  Islay is a whisky lovers paradise. The clean waters and air have made it a classic location for many famous malts.  Such names as Oban, Isle of Jura, Bunnahahain, bruichladdich, Laphroaic, Ardbeg, Bowmore to name but a few. We take a days trip onto the Isle of Jura which is extremely remote, certainly here there is more wildlife than people and fabulous to do some bird watching. Our last day is a fabulous day walking on Islay

West Highland Way - A 8 night - Level 3 walking tour ( 4 and 5 night options available also )
The West Highland Way was Scotland’s first official long distance route. Originally conceived in the 1960s, it was completed in October 1980. The Way links Milngavie to Fort William, a distance of 152km (95 miles), from the outskirts of Scotland’s largest city to the foot of its highest mountain, following the shores of its largest freshwater loch, Loch Lomond. Much of the way follows ancient and historic routes of communication, and makes use of drove roads, military roads and disused railway tracks The trail passes from the lowlands, across the highland boundary fault and on into the Scottish Highlands, bascially from city to wilderness.
The West Highland Way passes through a wide range of different terrains, ranging from lowland moors, through dense woodland and rolling hills, to high mountainous regions. This variety of environments provides habitats for a diverse range of wildlife species, both flora and fauna. Some species are more common than others and some are rarely seen. If you are lucky enough to spot one of the rarer varieties, consider yourself privileged
