Scottish Walking Holidays in
Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park

Scotland's first National Park embraces all the diverse landscapes of Scottish scenic splendour: the largest of Britian's fresh water lakes, Loch Lomond, surounded by the rugged peaks of Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps, the lush forests and valleys of the Trossachs, the fjord - like sea lochs of Argyll and the gently rolling Lowlands to the south.

Ideal for walking at an intermediate level these versatile terrains provide an excellent introduction to walking in Scotland.

Explore Scotland the imaginative way!

Your Guided Walking Holiday

We have designed an imaginative and varied programme of tours throughout the different areas of the national park. We choose romantic paths off the beaten track and, because water is so much part of the scenery, a boat cruise along the way, some island exploration and an optional cycle ride along the shore.

Your typical walking day
Generally, a day includes 4-5 hours walking, a relaxing lunch and delicious picnic and, apart from the ever changing and breathtakingly magnificent scenery, a pub or two where you will be served by kilted Highlanders.

Your accommodation
For the duration of your holiday you will be based in or near the delightful village of Balmaha on the shores of Loch Lomond.

Your walking group
Our groups are of a personable size of no more than 12 persons and is accompanied throughout by an experienced and knowledgeable guide.

Most importantly, we want to offer you the best experience of active relaxation and enjoyment in Scotland.

Scottish wildlife, History & Nature

On the way, you can find out as much as you would like about wild goats with spectacular horns, stories of local clans and their warfare or the story behind the coppiced oak forests along the shores of Loch Lomond and the people who lived here not so long ago.
