This is a great opportunity to experience the splendour of the northern Argyll Highlands in their full winter garb. We ascend all the best peaks this area has to offer area. We base ourselves at the very environmentally friendly Sithean Holiday Cottage just outside the Argyll village of Taynuilt nestled beneath the mighty Ben Cruachan and on the shores of Loch Etive. It’s an idyllic setting.

Walk Britain’s most spectacular mountain pass. The 18 mile route of past drovers, thieves and soldiers cuts right through the heart of the high Cairngorm splendour. From the high point its sides rise sheer for another 1500 ft to 4 of the 5 highest peaks in Britain - awesome scenery and a worthy challenge.
Mountains and Malts
Grade 2
5th May 2012 - 7th May 2012
£414.00 per person
Walking, whisky & wildlife. Whilst others make a beeline for the highest peaks of the Cairngorms National Park we venture onto the quiet back waters of the Glenlivet area for grandstand views from deserted mountain tops. This secretive area, away from the eyes of the Exciseman, was once the heart of illicit distilling territory. Not to fear though, whisky is now legal and a thriving industry. We’ll discover the world of whisky and have a chance to sample its delights along with experiencing some of Scotland’s finest mountain-scapes.
Wild Knoydart
Grade 2, Grade 3
13th May 2012 - 18th May 2012
£863.00 per person
The remote and rugged Knoydart peninsular is a very special place. For many, it epitomises west highland beauty; mountain after mountain plunging to deep dark serpentine lochs. Accessible only by boat (our mode) or long walk-ins, its one of the most isolated parts of mainland Britain. Its reputation is thoroughly deserved.
Hidden Cairngorms
Grade 2
2nd June 2012 - 5th June 2012

Midsummer Cairngorm Backpacking
Grade 3
14th July 2012 - 16th July 2012
£382.00 per person
If you’re looking to totally immerse yourself in the mountains, then there’s no better way than backpacking. If you want the perfect place to do it, then look no further than the Cairngorms. We avoid the repeated long ups and downs of other ranges. Once the gently undulating ‘plateau’ edge is gained, we’re left to relax & enjoy - an ideal introduction to backpacking.
Glens, Forests & Lochs
Grade 1
23rd July 2012 - 27th July 2012
£592.00 per person
Immerse yourself in some of the finest habitats and views. This is walking through wild lands where little appears to have changed since the forests chased back the glaciers.

£748.00 per person
This is a great introduction to the challenges of Scotland’s high mountains. We head north, south, east and west into the big mountain groups. Coires and ridges abound giving you unending interest amongst some of the Highlands' finest mountain scenery.
Complete Cairngorms

£693.00 per person
Explore Britain’s most natural landscape: the Great Forest of Caledon with its noble pines, the mighty Cairngorms with their tundra flora, the expansive heather moors. The habitats are rich - you experience the full variety of this unique mountain area.
The Empty Quarter
Grade 2, Grade 3
2nd September 2012 - 7th September 2012
£861.00 per person
Empty of people, maybe, but not of hillwalking interest. This is the very distinctive wilderness of Assynt and NW Sutherland, where the superlatives really start to flow - ‘island mountains’ rising abruptly from a vast, lochpitted tableland. The sense of space is superb. We could go on but to say these are the most eye-catching of mountains with fantastic walking.
Classic Torridon
Grade 3
2nd September 2012 - 7th September 2012
£769.00 per person
Torridon’s reputation is wholly justified. A landscape of towering buttresses and a primeval feel. For many this magnificent area provides the finest mountain days anywhere. I need say little more, other than this holiday requires a good head for heights.
Superlative Skye
Grade 2
23rd September 2012 - 28th September 2012
£844.00 per person
Besides the Black Cuillin’s scary ridges, the Isle of Skye offers the hill-walker some tremendous days out. This holiday focuses on the stunning Trotternish Ridge with its bizarre landscapes and the dramatic Red Cuillin. Both these areas offer the mountain walker some challenging walking with views than can rival any across Scotland.
Autumn Munros
Grade 3
21st October 2012 - 26th October 2012
£712.00 per person
The golden birch mixed with the deep green pines; rusty bracken and rich brown moors; the array of colours amongst the flora of the high tops, all combine to make this the most colourful time of year to visit.
