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:

“Another successful and enjoyable walking week with Contours Holidays. Thank you for all your work in setting this up.”Mr Dumbleton, UK
“We finally got to take the trip we had signed up to do since 2020. Many things in our life and the world changed in that time frame, but not the desire to do this Mother-Daughter trip. Thank you so much, "Contours Holidays" for working with us to get to complete this trip. For my daughter and I it was truly a trip of a lifetime that of course we want to have more of!!! Contours Holidays had great communication. They even helped us learn more about making our connections to the first leg of the trip in Drymen from Glasgow and I would have been really lost without that information. All luggage connections were made as planned and it went smoothly.”Mrs Hale-Grams, USA
“Perfectly booked, great walking maps (esp the professional fold-out map saved us twice!), beautiful B&BS. We walked several times in Scotland over the last years, all self booked but unfortunately as the job gets more demanding time was to scarce to do this time to do it all myself – what can I say”Mr Maier, Germany
“Lovely walk, great scenery and excellent facilities where we stayed. Planning our next trip already.”Mr Beedle, UK
“Contours excelled itself with selection of B&BS!”Mr Whitehorn, UK
“Fabulous trail, lovely weather, great hospitality!”Ms Siemensma, The Netherlands
“Thank you Contours for another brilliant walking holiday.”Mr Gregory, UK
“I am very happy about my walking tour and I think it was well organised by you. Most of the accommodations were good or excellent with only one exception. The documentation you sent me to my first hotel was all I needed for my walks. Whenever I arrived at you new place, my suitcase was waiting for me. Thank you for this interesting and nice experience and I would like to go on another walking tour with you in the future.”Mr Mueller, Switzerland
“Yet another fabulous walk in Scotland. Probably the most varied of all the Scottish walks I’ve done, as it combines a mix of river bank, rolling hills, and farmland, railway track beds, moorland and sandy beaches – all within a week. And it has red squirrels – hurray!”Mr Julyan, UK
