Hiking & Trekking in Scotland

Highlights

A tour of Scotland's wild & romantic countryside punctuated by special musical notes & events.

18th century fiddler and composer Niel Gow was probably one of the most sought after Scottish musicians of his day. Our walk begins in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park with its deep lochs, rugged hills and dark forests. Home to the legendary 17th century outlaw, Rob Roy, the unspoiled beauty of this area has been inspiring imaginations for centuries. From here our journey takes us to Loch Ossian in the southern Highlands for a taste of Scottish wilderness. This dark lake surrounded by endless hills and open moorlands should provide a uniquely remote setting for walking during the day and enjoying music in the evening. Continuing on to Perthshire, we head to the village of Dunkeld. Known as "Big Tree Country", this area of soft landscapes and stately old trees was home to Niel Gow. Finally heading toward Inverness, we will stop for one last walk in the mountains, Cairngorms National Park. Encompassing the area of Strathspey, this is Britain's largest national park.
