The Silver Walk is one of the truly special paths of the Highlands, a fascinating route cut out of the rock through truly spectacular scenery. Add in stunning Castle Tioram, a deserted hamlet, pine-fringed hill lochs and a view out to the Isles, and you have a stone-cold classic half-day walk - surely one of Scotland's finest.

Terrain

Silver Path coastal section is very rocky; one section is impassable at very high tides. The following section over the hill is rough and boggy.

Public Transport

None.

Start

End of public road at Diorlinn by Castle Tioram. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.

Hillwalking in Winter

Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. All route descriptions and difficulties given here are for summer conditions. See our Winter Skills page for basic information on the essential skills, techniques and knowledge needed for winter hillwalking.
