Itinerary for Climb a Scottish Ben / Hill:
- There are a great number of hill options available within 2 hours from Glasgow or Edinburgh such as in the Trossachs, Scottish Borders, or Perthshire/Angus areas. We will be guided by the weather as to the choice of hill.
- Hike distance upto 15 kms (10 miles) and height gain of upto 1,000 metres (3,300 feet). This can be more, by arrangement, for experienced and fit hill walkers.
- It’s possible to do a longer hike or climb a hill further into the Highlands, but costs will be higher and the start earlier.
Time permitting, refreshment at a cafe or a pub before returning to Glasgow or Edinburgh.
A kit list will be provided and a full risk assessment carried out for each trip with emergency backup notification of our route.

See ‘Eildon Hills’ and ‘Scottish Borders’ under the ‘Day Trip’ tab.
“It was such a cracking day! We went on a day trip to climb a pathless hill (Creag Uchdag ). Martin is a really great guide, he showed me how to use a compass and a map and was testing my skills along the way. He has a lot of stories to tell and knows so much about Scotland! The views were fantastic and there was almost nobody else around. A perfect way to get away from the crowds and enjoy nature. We were lucky enough to come across a big herd of deer as well. I have never climbed a pathless hill before so it was a good lesson and a great adventure. If you want to explore the Scottish wilderness, Roaming Scotland would be a perfect way to do so!”
Fitness / Ability for Climb a Scottish Hill:
- The choice of hill isn’t technical and will be within the capabilities of any sure-footed and reasonably fit individual.
- A readiness to accept and to come equipped for whatever the Scottish weather may throw at us!
- Expect walking terrain not to be always on paths and rarely signposted. We’ll walk through woods, bogs and on to the open moor to the summit, which can include a Munro (hill over 3,000 feet) or a Corbett (hill over 2,500 feet) to hopefully get incredible views of some of Scotland's lochs.
Safety and expertise - Martin has completed the Mountain Leader training and attained the relevant award qualification as a summer mountain guide, consolidating over 40 years of mountain trekking experience. He holds a current Mountain First Aid certificate and is fully insured.
