6-Nights Scotland: The Highlands — CALL

Country Walkers

OFFER ID 1537820

On this hiking tour in Scotland, inspiration wears many faces, from misty lochs and highland walks to elegant country inns.

For centuries, Scotland’s romantic highlands have inspired legends and lore. From your vantage point atop the Devil’s Staircase on this Scotland walking tour, it’s easy to see why. Windswept hillsides roll down toward distant lochs in all directions—the same dramatic landscapes that have fueled imaginations from Shakespeare to Sir Walter Scott, Harry Potter to Outlander. Walking these wild lands is also fueling your appreciation for Scotland’s more settled charms: the village streets of Killin, Macbeth’s ancestral castle at Glamis, a scenic cruise on Loch Katrine, traditional music at a festive dinner on a local sheep farm, or sipping whiskey at trail’s end. Hitting the Rob Roy Way again, you descend towards the green valley of Glencoe, where your inn’s cozy trio of pubs promises another welcome dose of inspiration.
