A guide to backpacking in the Central and Southern Highlands of Scotland, with 30 trekking routes – ranging from 2 to 7 days in length - over the highest peaks in Britain. And these wild mountains, rocky coasts and long, winding glens are all within a couple of hours’ drive of Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Seasons

April to June and September to December are the best times for avoiding midges. January to March will give very hard conditions with most routes snowbound.

Difficulty

Most routes are circular but a few are linear. From two-day routes to a seven-day traverse. Prior experience of mountain walking and wild camping and good fitness/navigation skills required.
