Winter Orkney hiking

It was a lovely trip to the Orkney Islands. We were picked up by the guide in Inverness and driven by van along the eastern coast of the Scottish Highlands. We took a ferry to the islands and stayed in a lovely hotel. The trip included visiting several ruins and hiking local trails. The hiking level was rated as a 3 on a 10 scale and this was an accurate rating.

Well planned, well organised, well led - and great fun!

A group of 8 women coming together to enjoy a retreat in the Highlands of Scotland in winter - and experiencing the best of the country and the people involved, thanks to the organisation and planning of Wilderness Scotland.

Wonderful retreat in the highlands

A women only 5 day retreat in the Cairngorms with hill walking, yoga and wild swimming. The accommodation was fantastic, all inclusive meals which were of very high quality. Excellent guide who made everyone feel welcome and overall just a fantastic small group tour

My Kind of Aventure

Wilderness Scotland is like a well oiled machine. The guide and office team work hand and hand to maximize a positive experience. Food and lodging exceeded our expectations, and the communication, itinerary, and group size was right up our alley. We were able to see and do much more than on our own or with a large group operating outfit. Scotland is gorgeous and Wilderness Scotland allowed us to experience the real/local Scotland.

John Hamilton was a true professional! His communication was excellent and his concern for our personal safely, comfort, and enjoyment sincere. When the weather interfered with the ferry schedules, he worked tirelessly, with his team, to organize alternative activities and/or forms of transportation that enhanced our journey. I can't say enough about John and hope to take another journey with his as my guide.
