Hello All! I am a 50 + year old American who loves to do long distance treking. I have completed the Camino Frances and the Camino Portuguese. I have heard so many wonderful things about Scotland that this is next on my bucket list. I am sure there is information in other forums but I am looking for advice on where to hike. I know there are a lot of companies that book trips but I prefer to make my own arrangements. I have about 12 days of hiking and my schedule is flexible between late April through the end of May. I don't want to camp and would prefer hostels or B@B's. I looked at the West Highland Way but accommodations are hard to come by. I hike with either my wife or my best friend when I do these trips. This year it will be with my friend as my wife will be home with my high school daughter. I prefer to do about 13-15 miles per day (20 K) and I am a walker not a hiker so I prefer not to climb up mountains! As of right now I am looking at a combination of Ayrshire Coastal Walk then to the Rob Roy Way. If there are better suggestions please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
