The Arran Explorer
1 to 3 days
Scotland in miniature, the Isle of Arran offers an easily accessible introduction to what the country has to show you. Beautiful coastal paths, sweeping heathery glens, and high craggy mountains, come and join us for an adventure on this amazing island.
​
1 day - We head over the Firth of Clyde to Brodick and make our way along the beach and up to the summit of the highest point at 874 m, Goat Fell, and enjoy some refreshments back in town after conquering the top.
​
2 - 3 days: Get the camping kit out* and enjoy a night or two under the stars as we take in Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa. Here you will be rewarded with scenic winding paths and expansive valley views.
​
The Arran trips can all be reached by public transport with a train/ferry ticket from either Edinburgh or Glasgow Central to the CalMac ferry over to Brodick where buses take you round the island.
​
* some equipment can be provided by arrangement
Arrochar Alps
1 day
Short Round: Take on the famous Cobbler with a beautiful valley walk beside the water of Allt a' Bhalachan and up the famous and unique craggy summit of Ben Arthur (884 m). Not to be underestimated, this trail will take about 4 to 5 hours to complete
​
Full Round: This one is a big day out seeing the tops of two Munros, Beinn Narnain (926 m) and Beinn Ime (1011 m), with a final climb up the Cobbler to see off the Big Three. This trail will require very good footing, some scrambling abilities, and a head for height, but we will take our time to attempt the summits!
​
Arrochar is easily reached by car and train with the station an easy 30 min pavement walk from the start of the trail.
History in the hills
1/2 to 1 day
Join us on an immersive history and heritage trail taking in an invigorating hike up some hills while learning about interesting site.
This includes a corner of the Pentland Hills as we will explore some historic highlights of the regional park, including the story of a sunken church, some Roman chat, and an Iron Age hill fort with a prehistoric surprise!
This route takes in some hills but is only a moderate challenge to most with attention paid rather to enjoying the beautiful hill and farmland scenery.
​
Or we can head out to Tinto Hill, where the dream all began, and head up to the summit from the Iron Age hill fort to the large Bronze Age cairn.
​
Or have you ever wondered what the Romans ever did for us? Then why not take in some of the Antonine Wall! Built in the 2nd century, sections of this wall and its forts can still be explored as we immerse ourselves in the land of the Picts and Romans.
​
Scottish history is vast and fascinating so why not head into the hills and see what's beneath your feet!
​
