Despite its beauty, the Highlands and Islands is one of the least affluent regions of Scotland.
By bringing the benefits of tourism to this area and using local services and produce, we help to support local businesses, create employment and contribute to the overall sustainable development of the region.
Both the Great Glen Way & the West Highland Way can be undertaken using trains to and from the start and finish points, making this an low-impact and sustainable journey.
Although the Self-Guided Wilderness Walks require the use of a car, we offset by 110% all carbon emissions generated by the company including those arising from all forms of transportation, office practices and trip operations (including client transportation). We are also in the process of developing some itineraries which can be undertaken without a car.
All of our trips start and finish at or close to railway stations, as this makes it much easier for our clients to travel to the Highlands by rail. We encourage travel by train or bus in all of our joining instructions that we send to clients, and also have a section on our website which includes links to train timetables and booking services to make it easier for clients to choose to travel by rail.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
