Walking holidays in Scotland

Walking in Scotland

For a true sense of wilderness and grandeur of landscape, Scotland is hard to beat as a walking holiday destination. Each year many people explore the Scottish trails and footpaths, and discover the rich cultural and natural heritage the country has to offer.

Ancient Trails in France

In past times many people walked from village to village to trade and to buy goods. These centuries-old connections between settlements in the countryside often lead through the most scenic landscapes, and these have been made into the 110,000 miles long footpath network that exists in France. The holiday providers that offer holidays in France of course make good use of these ancient trails, picking the very best ones to ensure you see that amazing view, that picturesque bridge near the stream, and that lovely preserved village square. The companies in France also often make use of some of the long-distance routes that cross the country, sometimes continuing far into other parts of Europe.

Very well known are of course the Scottish National parks, such as the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, but also the coast and islands attract thousands and thousands of enthusiastic walkers each year. Famous are also the Scottish long-distance walks such as the West Highland Way, the Great Glen Way and the Southern Upland Way.
