Loch Lomond & The Western Isles

Loch Lomond & The Western Isles

Introduction

PhotographyCoastal WalkingHistorical ThemeAncient ManCastlesModerate Walking

The Scots' pride in their land's spectacular beauty, Celtic traditions and historic battles are evident throughout our Walk in this stunning countryside.

On Highland trails we encounter a pristine landscape of magnificent lochs, heathered moors, mountains and woods scattered with fields rich in flowers, birds and wildlife. Remote islands beckon with lush scenery and picture-perfect spots.

Here rose legendary Scottish heroes - William Wallace ("Braveheart"), Robert the Bruce, Rob Roy and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Ancient Druids built mysterious stone circles, and contentious clans gathered within medieval castles before doing battle. We take the ferry to the Isles of Kerrera and Mull, and visit hauntingly beautiful Gylen Castle .
