A couple of great websites giving free walks and downloadbale ordnance survey maps for walkers in Scotland. Both also contain accommodation guides for their respective areas.

Walks on Skye (www.skyewalk.co.uk) has almost 80 walks on the most spectacular of Scotland's islands.

Kintail & Lochalsh walks (kintail.walkhighlands.co.uk) is its sister site and offers similar information about the adjacent mainland.

Kintail and Lochalsh are easy to get to by Highlands standards (excellent buses from Glasgow or Inverness, train line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh). They offer some of the best walking in the highlands.

Kintail is particularly good for those wanting to get into climbing the Munros - there are heaps of them here, and nowhere else can you climb so many in a short time. The ridgewalking here is also tremendous.

Lower level walks enable exploration of pretty villages such as Plockton. There is fine woodland in Lochalsh, a very different landscape from much of the Highlands. Also, it's easy to pop across from Skye....

This festival rocks. Who couldn't resist the lure of an enchanting landscape and one of the best line-ups I’ve seen in years? I’ll definitely be back. No other festival can quite compete with its wicked, friendly crowd, beautiful views and lovely weather (how did they manage that in Scotland?)

The Isle of Skye is the most northerly island of the Inner Hebrides.

Skye has Britain's most spectacular mountains by far, the Cuillin. But what is less well known is that it also has probably Britain's most beautiful coastline. Could there be a better walking destination? The following website has a good guide to walks.
