A walk from Loch Lomond, through the Trossachs National Park and the Highlands of Perthshire.
From £355 per person
Named after Rob Roy MacGregor, Scotland’s most famous outlaw, the Rob Roy Way meanders across the southern Highlands of Scotland from Drymen to Pitlochry through many places where the outlaw and his clansmen were active. The trail follows old tracks besides rivers and lochs, through a series of charming glens and over passes which provide wonderful views of the surrounding mountains.
As well as the tales of Rob Roy’s adventures to uncover, there is a wide range of other historic sites to discover along the route, including prehistoric stone circles, military roads and the ruins of multiple crofts, shielings and mort-safes, all adding to the intrigue of this scenic walk. Book your Rob Roy Way walking holiday today, with full-route and short break itineraries to suit your pace.
From £470 per person
Focus on the wilder central section of the Rob Roy Way on our Highlights holiday, which tours between Callander and Aberfeldy. Here, clambering woodland paths give way to open lanes with far-reaching views over green hills and mountains toward Loch Tay, with wooded and craggy wilderness ahead. Glittering expanses of water are frequent companions along the way, including the reservoir at Lochan Breaclaich and the long stretch of Loch Lubnaig, not to mention the lively Falls of Dochart near Killin.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
