Nature lovers and walkers will thoroughly enjoy a holiday in Scotland. There are mountain tracks, coastal paths and simple loch side jaunts for hiking at all levels. Scotland is real outdoor country with some of the finest landscape scenery in Europe to enjoy.
The more serious hiker can take the path which runs right round the coast of the country, or simply pick sections. Typically there is a hiking route from Oban around the shores of Loch Linnhe. Its one of the beautiful walks of the region but there are plenty more to choose from.
At scottish-highlands-selfcatering.co.uk there are routes and maps to choose the best walks for walkers. On the islands there are further great walks to be found. One is the challenging route around Skye, which takes in views of the Kyle of Lochalsh and Scalpay.
It should be stressed that some of the hiking in Scotland is for the fit and the experienced walker. Weather forecasts should be respected as the changes in the weather can be sudden and make for dangerous conditions. Apart from the coastal sections there are good walks in the mountains and amongst the heather clad hills.
Whilst hills are the domain of the grouse and the deer, the benefits of walking in Scotland are there for all to see. It’s good healthy exercise mixed with the benefits of seeing some of the grandest scenery in the British Isles. The best way to plan a walking holiday is to go to scottish-highlands-selfcatering.co.uk and look at the recommended locations and routes.
