A relatively straightforward 4.9 km hike with 358 meters elevation gain, this trail has the added excitement of a bit of a scramble and lots of creek crossings/rock hopping. And there's the option to hike further into the Lost Valley if you're wanting a longer outing. Like so many hikes in Scotland, this one has some interesting history, and we were glad to have a guide to tell us the story of this hanging valley.
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.
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.
The gently rolling loop from Stoer Head lighthouse to the Old Man of Stoer and back was a good follow-up to the previous day's more demanding trek to the summit of Suilven. Clocking in at 7.5 km (4.5 miles) and a total elevation gain of just 284 meters (134 net), I rate it family-friendly.
Stac Pollaidh is a "Graham" with views of the Summer Isles and nearby lochs. It's a solid half-day hike, with the opportunity for a lochside picnic before or after.
