Hiking in Scotland Information?

Walking Holiday In Scotland?

Looking for information on doing a hiking tour for about a week in Scotland. I've read about the West Highland Way trail, etc. Whens the best time (weather), bug situation, places to say, etc. And information or experience would be great. Thanks

    Here's a good journey from National Geographic.

    I often find the best weather in Scotland is May, well it's been May for the last couple of years, Midges will not be that bad in May aswell, but be warned... "Ne'er cast a cloot till May is oot" :P

    May or September are the most bug free months. Before May or after September the Scottish weather wouldn't be suitable for your hike. You need Ordnance Survey Landranger maps covering the area of the trail. Good walked in ultra comfortable hiking boots. Light clothing for all weathers etc

    Crikey! You want jam on it, don't you. There are midges about from April/May onwards. The best weather is often in either May or September. Stay in youth hostels or if you visit the Northern Isles in Boads which is like indorr camping.
