Backpacking

We think the best way to see Scotland is on foot over the course of several days when you can really immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of Scotland’s wilderness.

Our trips are tailored to your needs and abilities, so whether you’re a seasoned backpacker or a first-time adventurer, we can craft a trip that’s perfect for you.

Some of our favourite places for backpacking trips are: Assynt, Torridon, Fisherfield, the Knoydart Peninsula, and the Arrochar Alps near our home base in Argyll.

Trips are led by me, Monica Shaw, a summer Mountain Leader, qualified first aider, and an all-around open-minded and enthusiastic person who loves the outdoors and experiencing nature with like-minded people.

Our backpacking trips are

  • Confidence building – share the experience with a qualified mountain leader and take on a multi-day challenge that you might not feel confident taking on solo
  • A more personal experience – trips are custom made for small groups of 1-3 people and tailored to your needs, interests, and abilities
  • Hassle-free – I’ll take care of all the planning and logistics so you can enjoy the journey
