Hill Walking in Scotland

Scotland has, arguably, the finest and wildest hill/mountain walking country in the UK. It's big and has loads of big mountains too. Heights of Scottish mountains are similar to those of the Lakes and Snowdonia but often you have to start walking from nearer to sea level so you have to climb uphill more. Scottish hill days can feel like big days. Scotland, of course, is home to the UKs highest mountain, Ben Nevis. At 4409 feet it is one of the 8 mountains in Scotland to top 4000 feet.

Scotland has enough mountains to keep you busy for a lifetime. There are 284 Munros (at the moment), those mountains of 3000 feet or higher, as well as some of the most remote parts of the country. Rannoch Moor, Knoydart and the stunning and magical Skye to name but a few.

Whatever your aspirations, I can guide you to some awesome places and you'll pick up some new skills along the way too if you want. Don't panic if you haven't got lots of expensive kit, as long as you've got a comfy pair of boots I can provide you with all the warm and wet weather gear you may need-unfortunately the sun doesn't always shine in the Scottish hills!
