Hiking Scotland: An Steall Bàn

On January 17, 2025January 17, 2025 By GeoKsIn United Kingdom2 Comments

Another "proper" Scottish highland hiking experience, the short trek to An Steall Bàn includes a hike up through a small gorge, the opportunity to cross a three-wire bridge, and a view of the Harry Potter waterfalss.

Comprised mainly of hard quartzites, Shiehallion is a glacier-carved Munro hike in the Glencoe region of Scotland. The out and back trail from the Braes of Foss car park to the summit clocks in at 10.6 km (6.6 miles) return.

The second day of our week of guided hiking in the Glencoe region of the Scottish highlands was a "proper bog" hiking experience - one we'll remember for decades to come.

Wilds of Assynt: A Week of Guided Hiking in Scotland

On December 26, 2024February 22, 2025 By GeoKsIn United Kingdom6 Comments

Our week of small group guided hiking in the northwest Scottish Highlands took us up Col Mor, Suilven and Stac Pollaidh, among others. We also enjoyed a couple of lighthouse walks, a beach walk, a Summer Isles cruise, lots of history and some fantastic contemporary Scottish music. In fact, Peat and Diesel have been added to some of my playlists!
