Walkabout Scotland (0 testimonials)

In business since

"As one of the leading walking holiday tour operators in Scotland, we offer you an unrivalled walking and hiking experience through the spectacular scenery of the Scottish Highlands."
Walkabout Scotland is a small business running quality small group tours around the Scottish Highlands and Islands and sometimes as far as Hadrian's Wall in the North of England.
11 years in business although was running successful student tours at University 91-93 and have led the non-profit SDMCC (BMC affiliated Mountaineering and Caving Club) since 1995.
I believe my tours leave people with a feeling that they have been on holiday with a bunch of mates and not strangers first met on Sunday morning - we have great guides, use quality small B&Bs and hotels and eat out in quirky local pubs and restaurants
The walks.... are all ace!

Walkabout Scotland – Environmental Policy
We have always tried to treat all the areas visited on our tours with the minimum possible amount of environmental pressure. We don’t admit to having all the answers but Walkabout Scotland has always been about a low-impact form of tourism: 

By having small group sizes (max 8) our impact on the environment and local population is kept as minimal as possible. 
We support local traders by using locally owned accommodation, cafes and restaurants where possible. 
We try to ensure that our tour transport fits the group size. 
We encourage travel to and from Edinburgh by train where possible. 
We try to avoid inner city Edinburgh car journeys where possible, use recycled stationery. 
Suggestions for improvement are welcome
