Short Breaks in Scotland
The Rob Roy
This short break (3 nights - 3 walking days) takes you into typical scenery of the Scottish Highlands (mountains, lochs and fast flowing rivers), but starts and finishes less than one hour by car (under 2 hours by public transport) from either Glasgow or Edinburgh.
The Difficulty Of The Short Walking Break
The walks are graded using the symbols below. Over the years we have found that it is simply not possible to accurately reflect level of difficulty because each person reacts differently to distances and terrain. So the symbols give an immediate impression only and are to be treated as such; each walk listed under the walks section gives daily distances (and height gain/loss where known.)
We pride ourselves on being able to tailor our walks to each of our individual customer's needs, find out how we can help you by giving one of our staff a call;
