Explore Ancient Castles, Lush Landscapes and Sparkling Lochs on Our Scotland Highlands Walking Tour
While many walking tours of Scotland miss out on the magic of Glencoe, this Country Walkers adventure lets you experience this breathtaking corner of the Scottish Highlands in all its pristine glory.

While many walking tours of Scotland miss out on the magic of Glencoe, this Country Walkers adventure lets you experience this breathtaking corner of the Scottish Highlands in all its pristine glory. Here, you’ll walk through emerald forests to the stony pinnacle of Signal Rock—admiring views of shimmering Loch Leven below. We’ve found an iconic hiker’s inn in Glencoe to host you—serving its own traditional cask-conditioned ales. Explore the shores of Loch Tay and discover ancient Scottish dwellings, in the evening, returning to your opulent lakeside estate. Tread in the footsteps of Rob Roy McGregor in Glen Ogle and explore historic Blair Castle—once the haunt of Mary Queen of Scots. With included visits to Glasgow and Edinburgh, the rustic beauty of the Highlands is contrasted by cities at the height of Scottish sophistication.
Tour Highlights
- Taste the honey-smooth, smoky flavor of handmade single-malt whiskey at the Blair Athol Distillery, where water from the Grampian mountains blends with ancient Highland malt to create the mellow and deep, well-rounded signature taste.
- Cruise on beautiful Loch Katrine, the inspiration for Sir Walter Scott’s poem “Lady of the Lake” and the novel Rob Roy.
- Walk amid the splendor of Scotland’s peaceful interior, hiking through forests of ancient pines, past verdant pastures, and alongside gentle brooks and shimmering lochs.
- Learn how the hard-working Highland cows have adapted to the extreme weather conditions in the Highlands during a visit with this ancient cattle breed.
- Enter a world of privilege and splendor at historic Blair Castle—once the center of the 17th-century Jacobite rising, and home to the Atholl family for over seven centuries.
What makes a Country Walkers hiking holiday stand out from the rest? The wonderful guides. Rob, was the guide who shared an encyclopedic knowledge of Scottish history and is a connoisseur of Scottish whisky. Cat was our songstress guide who shared Scottish songs and her expert knowledge of the areas hiked. There was so much to enjoy, the food, the culture, but by far my favorite part was soaking in the beautiful green of the Scottish countryside and hiking with wonderful people that enjoyed doing the same. Time to plan our seventh holiday with Country Walkers.
