A triple W theme links our hikes on this vacation - walking, whisky and wildlife. We have the walking, which is our primary focus, but along the way we'll be observing key Scottish wildlife species in the wild and sampling Scotland's premier export, the Scotch whisky, in its purest form, in its natural environment. As on all our trips we are lodge based, using the same base throughout the week and making day trips out from here. You'll be able to relax and make yourself at home from the first day of arrival. Settle in by the fire, break open a book, and just concentrate on: eat, sleep, hike

Highlights: deserted white sand beaches on Harris; hills of North Harris including Huiseabhal Mor, Tiorga Mor and An Clisham, the highest peak in the Western Isles; chances to see golden eagles and otters; views of Britain’s largest overhanging cliff; the flowering machair; the 12th Century church of St Clements; a visit to the jewel in Scotland,s prehistoric crown, the 3000 year old Callanish Standing Stones and an Iron Age broch.

Western Isles Wilderness is a hiking trip with a strong sense of place and culture. Harris is the home of some strong Scottish traditions (like the making of Tweed – long the fabric favoured by field sports enthusiasts, the fashion industry and of course Sherlock Holmes) and a wonderful well-preserved ancient and more recent history, examples of which are prevalent throughout both Harris and Lewis. We’ll also have the opportunity to experience some of the best cuisine the islands have to offer on our night out at one of the top quality local restaurants.

Guided Winter Walking Expedition
Tabled as the least accessible part of mainland Britain, the wild bounds of Knoydart in summer feel remote enough, but in winter the sense is magnified several times over. Knoydart is justifiably regarded by some as the epitome of west Highland magnificence. Bound by sea lochs to the north and south, this deeply glaciated peninsular is a labyrinth of hidden valleys, coires and distinct mountain ridges giving the prospect of the most sensational winter mountain scenery anywhere

Royal Deeside is our destination. Queen Victoria's estate surrounds us on this trip. We'll visit the Muir of Dinnet NNR, Lochnagar (also ascended by Queen Victoria) and many of the surrounding peaks
