Hoping you may be able to give some advice.
I'm considering visiting Scotland for a week at the end of the summer, coming up from London on the sleeper train. I want to spend my days doing day hikes, but worry about how difficult this may be without a car to get to trailheads.
Can anyone recommend a good area to base myself in with a range of walking routes that either lead from there, or that has good public transport links to make life a bit easier please?
Thank you if you can help.
Definitely Crianlarich. The hostel is good as a base but be prepared to eat in one of the hotels (or bring food) as the local shop is fine but has limited opening hours.
Plenty of hills direct from the hostel, then with the train loads of possibilities.
