Overview

The best day trip for adventurous travellers! Join an Edinburgh-based Mountain Guide on a hike in the remote Scottish Highlands Scotland's mountains are world famous, so a trip to the hills should definitely be on your to-do list when you're in Edinburgh. Experience the rugged beauty of some of Scotland's highest mountains as you hike through some of the country's most amazing landscapes. This 11km hike takes us far into the wilderness, where we often see rare wildlife, spectacular sunsets, and incredible mountain views. We use public transport to get from Edinburgh to the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, where we spend the day hiking in the mountains.

Great time hiking outside of the city

Published on Jul, 2024

Marcus was great. I had a great time out on a trail that I had some degree of choice on. I went for the highest peak as I am a bit of a completionist. The activity was neatly planned with a bus route in mind, so the only think I had to bring was myself. There was a bit of time at the end waiting for the bus to get a coffee or food so I never felt rushed
