How are our walking holidays graded?

To be sure that an Inntravel walking holiday in Scotland is right for you – our walking holidays in both Fife and the Scottish Borders are at the easier end of the scale, while our exploration of Highland Perthshire is more challenging – read the definitions of our walking grades below. Remember that you needn’t walk every day if you prefer not to – if you’d rather spend non-itinerant days relaxing or sightseeing, that’s entirely up to you.

We also offer short break versions of each holiday – ideal if you only have a few days to spare.
  • Following the Fife Coastal Path to St Andrews is a fascinating experience, despite the ease of the trails. Your walks of 5-10km per day are brought to life by the area's constantly shifting seascape, by its wealth of marine and birdlife, by the dramatic castle ruins that rise from the land, and of course by the each of the picturesque fishing villages that line your way.
  • If you're looking to take on around 5-15km each day, with the occasional hill thrown in, our walking holiday in the Scottish Borders is perfect for you. As you follow the River Tweed through valleys, pastures, and low, heather-clad hills, you'll discover a fascinating area rich in nature, history, and tradition. We also give you the chance on this holiday to get up high, ascending through forest and across open moorland for outstanding views in all directions.
  • The most challenging of our Scottish walks takes place in Highland Perthshire, where our beautiful routes lead you to the region’s proud castles, picturesque towns, and world-class whisky distilleries. Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, and to enjoy a real variety of walking, with riverside strolls along stretches of the iconic Rob Roy Way complemented by thrilling ascents of such emblematic peaks as Ben Vrackie.

Scotland FAQs

  • One of the best things about self-guided walking trips is the freedom. You can walk at your own pace, stopping at viewpoints for as long as you want without having to follow a strict schedule. With clear directions and helpful notes, you can enjoy expert guidance while having a more personal experience. You''ll also feel a great sense of accomplishment once you've finished.
  • Our hiking trips in Scotland are multi-day walking journeys, typically in remote, mountainous areas that allow you to experience the great views Scotland has to offer.

    On these trips, you'll cover 10-15km a day with a greater variety of walking, including uphill hikes up peaks like Ben Vrackie, which some may find challenging. However, you will always have a comfortable hotel to rest at the end of the day, alongside additional support such as baggage transfers.
  • We generally offer our trips from March or April until October, ensuring you have a wide window to choose from. Like in much of the UK, Scotland's weather can be changeable and particularly harsh at certain times of year. Make sure you pack the right gear for variable weather conditions, especially when walking at altitude.

    Walking during the spring, summer, or autumn months means you can enjoy this beautiful part of the world in a way that speaks to you. For example, you might enjoy the sunshine during leisurely coastal walks in Fife or appreciate the cooler temperatures of the transitional seasons for more challenging walks in Highland Perthshire.
  • Aside from the beautiful walks each day, you can also enjoy a whisky tasting session in Pitlochry on our Scottish Highlands & Cairngorms National Park holiday.
