Adventure · Walking
Between three and four miles an hour, everything makes sense. The map matches the ground. The weather is something you're in, not looking at. A hot dinner is a reward, not a delivery. Walking adventures are what we set the company up to plan — across Scotland, and beyond.
Why we walk
A long-distance walk is the oldest form of holiday there is — and, quietly, one of the most modern. You leave your car at one end and pick it up at the other. Your phone goes into your pocket and stays there. You spend the week where the trail is, not where the algorithm is.
It is also, physically, one of the most accessible. Almost anyone who can walk to the shops can walk a long-distance trail if the days are the right length and the accommodation is in the right places. That's the bit we handle — the sizing of the days around your pace, and the beds that make the difference between a good week and a great one.
We start in Scotland because it's home, but the format travels. Every trip we plan starts with two questions: how many days do you have, and how far do you like to walk in a day. The rest follows.
Trails to walk
Every trail is walked and re-walked before we open it. We'd rather do four brilliantly than forty badly.

How to walk one
Pace
Most first-timers plan too much distance. Three miles an hour is a strong walking pace once you factor in stiles, photos, and lunch. If you're new to multi-day walking, aim for 15–18 km days for the first three days, then judge.
Feet
New boots on day one is the classic mistake. Wear them on three long days at home first. Merino liner socks under a walking sock stop 90% of blisters, and it costs less than a plaster.
Weather
You'll get a soaking day, wherever you are — Scottish Highlands, Galician coast or a Dolomites afternoon storm. Waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers, and a spare fleece in a dry bag. The bar at the end is warmer for it.
Bag
Bag transfer is standard on every itinerary we sell — in Scotland, in Italy, or along the Camino. Your main luggage moves from bed to bed each morning; you walk with a 20-litre daypack. It changes the week.
From the journal
Richard Newsome has been looking after bothies on the West Highland Way for 12 years. This once meant carrying 42 glass bottles four and a half miles back to his car. He moved to Scotland because of the West Highland Way and has never once walked into a bothy and thought about quitting.
Sara and Marco walked the West Highland Way in June — their first long trail, seven days, almost nobody else around. On day two, by a quiet stretch of Loch Lomond, Marco said he couldn't really kneel on the rocks, and showed her the ring anyway.
A slow afternoon between Elie and Crail, where the wind drops and the coastline lets you catch up with yourself.
