Despite its beauty, the Highlands and Islands is one of the least affluent regions of Scotland. During these Scotland walking vacations, by bringing the benefits of tourism to this area and using local services and produce, we help to support local businesses, create employment and contribute to the overall sustainable development of the region.
Our strict 'leave no trace' policy on the Scotland walking vacations ensures that our presence in these beautiful regions will not have a negative effect on this fragile environment.
This concept will be explained by our guide at the start of the trip and practised throughout. Through responsible guiding, we will enable our clients to develop an understanding of the existing and future issues which affect these valuable wilderness areas. Our Scotland walking vacations start at railway stations to encourage travel by rail.
All of our trips start and finish at or close to railway stations, as this makes it much easier for our clients to travel to the Highlands by rail. We encourage travel by train or bus in all of our joining instructions that we send to clients, and also have a section on our website which includes links to train timetables and booking services to make it easier for clients to choose to travel by rail.
We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
