This circuit includes the route to Rubh an Eireannaich (Irishman's Point) but then continues along the shoreline all the way around to Rubha na Sgianadin. This can ONLY be done at LOW TIDE and the going is awkward on shingle in some places and slippery in others. However, the views are great and you...

Longer alternative for the standard Scorrybreac circuit, avoiding the steep ascend inland. It is possible to start from Torvaig campsite (see beelow) if you stay there and have no car or public transport. From the starting point near Cuillin Hills Hotel follow the walk as far as the path heads inlan...

I was on the Skye Trail section from Sligachan to Portree and had some spare time, so I decided to take this short stroll. It was a welcome interruption of the hard going on the 6 miles of tarmac road in the Braes and I recommend it to all Skye Trail walkers. The beginning through the woods is not t...

This is a wonderful walk which can make a short day out but is also a great area to spend hours exploring. We went down to the rocky beaches along the Silver Walk, visited the ruins which appear on the right after having left the coast (a bit boggy although), had a prolonged lunch break near Lochan ...

A circuit into the heart of the crater and over some of the surrounding hills Parked at Sanna Bay car park at 4pm and headed through the dunes to the wonderful beach. Strolled along the beach to its south end. $matches[2] Crossed a stream over a wooden plank bridge and took a good path up the hillsi...

I'm considering carrying my bike over the 'difficult' bit to Diorlinn Hi, I never cycled, so I don't know what it means carrying a bike on my back. But I guess you are familiar with this so it should be no problem for you. After all, it's maybe 700 yards in total, and not steep. There are several p...

26 miles including a 15 miles loop which can be walked on its own My son and I spent a week in Morvern in April and although we normally prefer long distance routes, which is quite difficult here without too much road walk, the area is fantastic walking courntry. After some shorter walks (see sugges...

Thanks Sgurr,
.
I saw some threads like these, talking about laybys (which I understand are smaller roadside places). So I guess this is also applicable for proper parkings then.

Hey everybody, I'm trying to find out, what 'No overnight parking' really means. I'm not from the UK and even after checking some forums, it still isn't clear to me. In fact, I want to drive my car to an official designated parking area (not a road layby, but really an area with a parking sign, 20 p...

Hi, If you rely on public transport, I made the experience that it is better to park your car in the morning at the end point of your day walk, whoch you chose close to a bus station. You take the morning bus to the start point and have the whole day to walk back to the car. So you can walk as fast ...

Nearest place from my home, at least 300m high, is the Eiffel Tower

This is why I envy all of you who live in Scotland! Just take an hour or so to climb a mountain whenever you fancy.

Great achievement! Guess, you won't retire now, though

Hi, This is not a walk report from start to end, but a comment about my experience on the Cowal Way which I walked last week. By the way, I just found out that they changed the naming from Cowal Way to Loch Lomond and Cowal Way while I was there ;-) I have to say, I leave this long distance walk wit...

Hi Gordie, I just posted the second part of the walk. Hope you'll enjoy, too. With kids it's often difficult to satisfy them and to take care that they don't get bored. Therefore Arran was a really good choice, offering plenty of distraction, other than just walking on and on. Next week's destinatio...

This is the second part of my report about our walk on the Arran Coastal Way this summer, including the west side of Arran, from Lochranza to Blackwaterfoot. Day 9 After a lazy day we continued our trip on the ACW. The sun was shining as if rain never had a chance to come back, the sky was clear blu...

This summer my son (8 yrs) and I spent 2 weeks on the wonderful Arran Island. We walked the Arran Coastal Way, including some detours here and there. The ACW can be done in a week, but we spent 2 as there are so many beautiful spots to visit off the ACW and we spent most of the time on building sand...
