Our Walks in Scotland |
Page 1 2 3 Islands |
I know, Scotland is too big to lump in one area but it will be split up into more manageable areas once we've explored a bit more and bullied some contributors into going walking! Highlands and islands, glens and coast and of course geology to die for....Scotland's got it all! Oh, and apparently there's something called whisky...

EASY ACCESS TRAILS
|
Easy access trails are starting to appear across Britain, so here is a selection in Scotland. These are official trails and have not necessarily been tried and tested but should be suitable for wheels. |

PWA23 Gylen Castle, Kerrera |
3hours: 5 miles (8km) |
|
A great walk along good tracks to the remote Gylen Castle on the SW tip of the Isle of Kerrera. Not only that, but in season there's even a café at the end of the walk! ATPs only – tracks wide enough for doubles but there are some short steep inclines. Dogs on leads. Allow plenty of time for the return ferry. |
|
 |
PWA13 Glengorm Castle, Tobermory, Mull |
1 hour 30 mins: 2 miles (3.5km) |
|
Walk from a baronial castle to a prehistoric hillfort, both with stunning coastal views and there's even a café at by the car park! Grassy paths, boggy in places so ATPs only. Dogs to be kept on a lead. |
|
 |
PWA11: Torosay Castle, Mull |
1 hr 30 mins: 2.5 miles (4 km)
|
 |
A delightful woodland walk to a castle, with the option of taking the Mull Railway one way! Lovely views over the sea to Duart Castle and it's gravel track all the way. Moderate inclines, the railway is seasonal, and there's a fee to enter the castle and gardens. This walk can be done from the Oban ferry. |
|
 |
PWA12 Laggan Sands, Lochbuie, Mull |
2 hours: 4 miles (7km) |
|
A great walk to a long sandy beach and a 16 th century chapel, via a ruined castle. Spectacular coastal scenery with big Atlantic waves in a truly remote spot, though you can get ice creams at the post office on weekdays! Good track and grassy paths all the way, though rough gravel so ATPs only. |
|
 |
PWA27 Bridgend Woodland, Islay |
1 hour 30 mins: 2.75 miles (4.5km ) |
|
A beautiful woodland walk on the island of Islay famed for its whiskies! Though no distilleries on route, this walk goes through lovely deciduous trees which have a carpet of bluebells in spring. Paths uneven and muddy in places, so ATPs only.
|
|
 |
PWA6 Easdale, by Oban |
1 hour (excl boat): 1.5 miles (2 km) |
|
A circuit around the conservation island of Easdale, south of Oban once famous for its slate which was exported worldwide for roofing. Stunning views over the isle of Mull and down to Luing; museum and cafe in season and a great pub on mainland Seil. ATPs only as paths are rough and narrow. |
