Two new guided walking holidays in the Scottish Highlands

These guided walking holidays are a simple way to meet up with fellow hillwalkers, and to enjoy the hills with a qualified and experienced walking guide.

For 2026 we’ve teamed up with Graham Uney Mountaineering to offer these Scottish Highlands breaks, which means that on any holiday you could have either Graham Uney or me (Sharon Kennedy) as your guide. Don’t worry if you are firmly “Team Tortoise” the we start together, we stay together and no one gets rushed applies to all our walks.

Each holiday is based around a town or village giving you the freedom to select your own accommodation. There will be a range of B&Bs, guesthouses, a hotel or two, and a campsite, and some will have a youth hostel or bunkhouse too, giving you the choice of where to stay. Some days we'll just walk directly from the place we're staying, but if not we'll use buses where possible, or perhaps car share if we want to travel somewhere more remote or further afield.

There's no fixed programme for any of these holidays - we simply go out into the hills with the intention of enjoying the local Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, or perhaps a pleasant stravaig up a glen or into an ancient woodland. The weather will dictate where we go to some extent.

All you will pay us for this is a 'guiding fee' per person. So check out what the dates are for these guided walking holidays in 2026, then get in touch to book yourselves in. Group bookings are also very welcome, and if there's more than four of you we might be able to accommodate you on other dates too!
