Scotland's Great Trails are nationally promoted long distance routes. They provide superb opportunities to get out there on foot to discover and explore some of the best of Scotland's landscape and wildlife. The trails vary greatly in character, from sections of the Clyde Walkway through the centre of the city of Glasgow to the mountain grandeur revealed by the ever popular West Highland Way.
What the Great Trails share is that all are continuous waymarked routes, largely off-road, with the potential for multi-day journeys on foot. All offer a rewarding experience and a chance to appreciate the natural, cultural and historic interest through which they pass. Whilst some of the trails are usually walked in a single holiday, others have good public transport links to each section allowing easy access and enabling you to walk them a stage at a time.
Walkhighlands would like to acknowledge the support of Scottish Natural Heritage for its help with the funding of our guides to some of the above routes.
