A walk through Scotland's Great Glen along the impressive Caledonian Canal.
From £390 per person
Take in Scotland’s finest scenery on a long-distance walking holiday through the Highlands, past Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and along the shore of Loch Ness.
The Great Glen Way National Trail follows the route of the Caledonian Canal, which links the enormous lochs of the Great Glen all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea. Open moorland, tree-lined towpaths, and towering, heather-clad hills are staple views, alongside castles and forts that have witnessed some of the most bloody scenes of Scotland’s turbulent history.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.

“This is the first time I have used a company to arrange our walking holiday. I was a bit worried that the accommodation wouldn't be as good as when I have arranged it myself but I was pleasantly surprised.”Ms Fiona Day, UK
“Every aspect of this holiday was absolutely perfect. There were changes made to arrangements and accommodation which were carried out by yourselves without any problems whatsoever. Communication between us was 100% covered and couldn't have been any better. We could not find fault with any aspect of our trip and would like to thank every member of your team involved.”Mrs Bradshaw, UK

“Another good walk. I enjoyed my stay in Scotland despite the weather (just one sunny day) I always tell others that I use yourselves and tell them home much I'm impressed with the holidays that you have sorted in the past. My next Contours holiday is The John Muir Way next May. This holiday had to be postponed in May 2020 and May 2021due to lockdowns! I will shortly be booking some more holidays for next year. I am keen to do some more of the Welsh Coastline.”Mr Duthoit, UK
