Small Green Footprints

All our independent walking tours are planned to utilise local transport options thus greatly minimising your Carbon footprint.

It saves the hassle of driving around and allows you to enjoy the landscapes, people, flavour and atmosphere of more of Scotland.

Depending upon the holiday you choose, there may also be sightseeing options available.

All our holidays include:

Accommodation
Transport as specified
Baggage transfers if required

As many of these holidays take place in areas where accommodation is limited, early booking is strongly recommended.

These holidays are ideally suited to group sizes up to about 6. If you have a larger group we may need to make a few changes to the normal itinerary so please contact us before booking.

Of course if none of these holidays are what you are looking for, we are happy to provide tailor made holidays designed specially for you to your own requirements. Tell us what you want and leave us to do the planning for you.
