Self Guided Walks In Scotland

The aim of this website is to provide guidance for the walking routes in Scotland that we have enjoyed. This website is linked to our self-guided walking site for Tenerife. We love walking but, for us, shorter, half-day routes are best. So, most of the walks described on this site will be under 10 km in length. We hope you find our website useful.

This website is a work in progress. More walks will be added as we check out the routes and document them. You can subscribe to Get New Walk Updates Via Email using the
