Welcome to Walkhighlands - the award-winning online guide to walking and the Great Outdoors in Scotland. Each of our series of regional microsites offers a comprehensive guide to walking routes in the area, giving you all you'll need to get the most from your holiday. The site currently covers the Highlands and several islands but is rapidly expanding across the rest of Scotland. Walks included range from family rambles to tough cross-country hikes and scrambling mountain ascents. The routes are available as free waypoints to download to your GPS, whilst we also feature podcasts of the Gaelic pronunciation and meaning of the placenames, Ordnance Survey mapping of every route at both Explorer and Landranger scales, and the chance for users to rate routes, write about their own experiences on them and share their photos.

We also feature one of the most comprehensive accommodation guides for the Highlands, from the smartest hotels, through bed and breakfasts and self-catering cottages, to budget hostels and campsites. A range of books and maps are available for each area, as well as places to see and visit, making Walkhighlands the complete guide for the outdoor visitor. Use the links in the blue bar as your launching pad to a fantastic trip to Scotland.
