Seasons

Year-round walking is quite possible, but winters should be respected and summers will see the appearance of the Scottish midge.

Centres

Covering from Arran to Lewis, a range of entry points including Oban and Mallaig. Facilities in many towns and villages throughout the islands. Ferry access.

Difficulty

Mainly full-day routes, across some tough terrain. Should be treated as wild mountain walking.

Must See

Arran, mysterious Mull, the wild lands of the Outer Hebrides, the sunsets, whisky and rain.
