Scottish landscape are some of the beautifulest one can find. The absence of trees on the mountains gives to the hiker a view on the country all along his hike. When it's cloudy one can feel the Scottish mood when he walks in the clouds and when it's sunny he discovers a magical landscape which surrounds him. The biggest advice I can give to someone planning to hike in Scotland is to go for it whatever the weather is as long as it is not pouring rain. Scottish weather changes really quickly in the mountains so you can start when it rains and once you reach the summit it is sunny. Even if it does not happen it is still really special and relaxing to walk in the clouds.
All the hikes I descibe here except Ben Nevis are in Glen Coe a bit south of Fort William which is known to be one of the best place to hike in Scotland. Also, some movies like Highlander, Rob Roy and Braveheart had a few scenes filmed in this valley. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to do other ones but I spent my summer there so I know it very well. So if you have any questions on these hikes or if you would like to add some other trails you have done in Scotland, do not hesitate to contact me.
