Scotland Walking Holidays & Breaks
Guided Walking Holidays Across Scotland
Explore Scotland on foot with a small, sociable group on our guided walking holidays and short breaks. From the Isle of Skye, Mull and the Outer Hebrides to the Cairngorms, West Highlands and Scotland’s long-distance trails, our trips take you to some of the best places for walking across the country.
Large Outdoors takes care of the planning, routes and guiding, with accommodation and transport included where stated. Many of our Scottish walking holidays also include collection from Glasgow, making it easier to reach more remote parts of the Highlands and islands without bringing a car.
Most people Join Large Outdoors on their own, so travelling solo doesn’t mean walking alone. You’ll be part of a small group, with an experienced walking leader and plenty of time to get to know the people you’re travelling with.

Why Scotland Works So Well
Scotland offers scale and variety in equal measure.
You can walk high mountain ridges one day and coastal paths the next. You can experience snow and ice in winter or long daylight evenings in summer. The terrain is shaped by granite, glaciers and Atlantic weather — which keeps every trip feeling fresh.
Wildlife is part of the draw too. Red deer on the hills, seabirds along the coast, and in some regions the chance of spotting eagles overhead.
It’s dramatic without needing exaggeration.
Winter & Year-Round Walking
Scotland is one of the few places in the UK where winter genuinely transforms the landscape. Snow and ice bring a different dimension to mountain days, while outside winter the same regions offer long ridge walks, forest trails and coastal routes.
Whether you’re joining a winter trip in the Cairngorms or a summer island break, Scotland works in every season.
