What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation early and head north through Edinburgh's outskirts. The drive gradually reveals greener hills; by Callander, the landscape shifts noticeably wilder. After a break, you stop at Kilmahog to encounter the long-horned Highland cows—friendly but sturdy animals that enjoy a gentle feed. Then comes Glencoe, where you'll make several stops to walk short stretches and absorb the towering ridges and heather slopes. Expect variable Scottish weather and bring layers. Travel time dominates the itinerary; actual walking is light.
