Seasons

May and June are ideal; September and October can be fine but there will be some diversions from stalking on estates. July and August are OK if you can cope with midges and accommodation being full.

Centres

Fort William to Cape Wrath. Several villages along the way, including Shiel Bridge, Strathcarron, Kinlochewe, Dundonnell, Ullapool, Inchnadamph and Rhiconich.

Difficulty

A tough walk, one of Britain’s toughest. Wild, remote, far from civilisation. Rain, midges, river crossings all to be surmounted.

Must See

Wild and remote glens and lochs in Scotland’s far north-west. Morar and Knoydart, Loch Duich, Falls of Glomach, the Beinne Eighe National Nature Reserve, Torridon, An Teallach, and more up to the Cape.
