Your Walking Holiday - relaxing, invigorating and fun!
Exploring different areas of the National Park you will be hiking along old drovers' paths and mountain routes which the Highlanders used before roads ever penetrated the Highlands in the 18th century.
Never ending beautiful views, old forests, waterfalls, ancient ruins, wild roaming goats, deer and a variety of interesting birds accompany you on your journey. Refreshing streams and lovely beaches may entice you for a dip and, because water is so much part of the scenery, we include a boat ride or two along the way, some island exploration, a sailing on a Victorian steamer and a scenic cycle ride along the shore of Loch Katrine.
A little bit of sightseeing most days en route to the starting points of your walks will give you a sense of the surrounding area without spending much of your time on a bus.
Your walking day - taking it easy
Generally, a day includes 4-5 hours walking, a relaxing lunch break and delicious picnic and, occasionally, we will celebrate our walking day in one of the old Scottish pubs we will be passing on the way home.
Your accommodation - local hospitality at its best
For the duration of your holiday you will be based in or near the delightful village of Balmaha on the shores of Loch Lomond where we have found some excellent accommodation for you, a cosy pub and restaurant, the Oak Tree Inn, and where you can relax in the evening sunshine by the shores of the lake.
Your walking group - small is beautiful
Our groups are of a personable size of no more than 12 persons and accompanied throughout by an experienced and knowledgeable guide to make your time with us in Scotland interesting and enjoyable.
Scottish Wildlife, History & Nature
On the way, you can find out as much as you would like about wild goats with spectacular horns, how the Vikings carried their boats over mountains, stories of local clans and their warfare or the history behind the coppiced oak forests along the shores of Loch Lomond and the people who lived here not so long ago.
