Walking holidays in Scotland and the Highlands

Thanks to the tranquillity, the glorious scenery and the wealth of history, walking in Scotland is full of rewards. In keeping with our Slow holiday philosophy, our carefully planned routes (described in easy-to-follow notes) allow plenty of time to savour the beauty of your surroundings. And because there’s no group, no arrangements to make (we do all that), and no luggage, you can make each day your own, choosing which of the various historic sites you’d like to visit.

Why choose an Inntravel walking holiday in Scotland

Whether you choose the Scottish Borders, Perthshire or Fife for your walking holiday in Scotland, there are three main rewards. First, the scenery, a mixture of tranquil valleys and low, rolling hills in the Borders, of mountains, lochs and deep glens in Perthshire and of picturesque seascapes and small fishing villages in Fife. Second, the history and architecture – the wealth of historic places makes for a varied and fascinating holiday. Third, the proximity to Edinburgh, which not only means access is easy, but also means you can combine your walking holiday with a stay in this much-loved city. Fife promises a fourth, too: an abundance of foodie delights.
 

Is a walking holiday in Scotland right for you?

To be sure that an Inntravel walking holiday in Scotland is right for you – our walking holidays in both Fife and the Scottish Borders are at the easier end of the scale, while our exploration of Highland Perthshire is more challenging – read the definitions of our walking grades below. Remember that you needn’t walk every day if you prefer not to – if you’d rather spend non-itinerant days relaxing or sightseeing, that’s entirely up to you.

We also offer short break versions of each holiday – ideal if you only have a few days to spare.
  • These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
  • You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
  • Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
  • Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
  • Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
  • Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
