4 Best Hikes in Scotland UK 🏴 Solo Hiking Road Trip
Hiking in Scotland. A solo hiking trip to the North of the UK - good old Scotland. After researching dozens of hiking apps, blogs and vlogs, I selected these 4 hiking trails as the best combo for a trip to explore the wild and naked nature of Scotland. In the film, I have listed all of the expenses to show how affordable such a 4-day road trip can be. My conclusion is this - Scotland is a very fitting place for hiking alone and a great place to travel to for nature lovers in general.
Here are the chapters of the video:
0:00 Intro
0:57 Best Coastal Hike in Scotland
7:11 Best Valley Hike in Scotland
12:46 Best Cliff Hike in Scotland
21:16 Best Summit Hike in Scotland
Find the trails on my map:

The hiking trails in alphabetical order:
- The Hidden Valley (Lost Valley) in Glencoe, Highlands
- The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye
- St Abbs Head in Scottish Borders
- Suilven in Assynt, Northern Highlands

I rarely comment on YT but you honestly deserve >365k viewers. I've been following you for a while and your content (contents, videography, cinematography, wtc) keep getting better. Thank you for the inspiration this coming summer/autumn. Kudos and thanks from a fellow hiker from sunny Singapore.

OMG. I love it, when i find gems like this channel. I found you, when i was looking for hikes in cyprus and subscribed. I have never been to Scotland and this video makes me wanna go. I like the visuals, the selection of music, the drone flights, the typography, the voiceover. Such a great video! I watched the whole thing. Keep up the good work!

Hey Arda, thank you so much for this encouraging comment. 🙂 And yes, you should definitely visit Scotland. It's very unique and pretty wild. I'd love to return there one day again and do some munros. 🙃
Stunning video and a very emotional end. The music and majesty of the place almost made me well up with tears of pride at this being my home island. Thank you matey and subbed!

For me you have the best hiking videos! They are incredible and your website is amazing too! I cant just imagine all the work that's required to make all of this. I will make a trip to some places that you have recording and thanks to your channel the planning was easier (I will try to visit the same places like you in Scotland, Iceland...). Thanks for your sharing and I hope you continue doing this for more countries :D

Nice one! Beautiful! @trailwalkers - how do you manage the music licence stuff? Maybe i wanna try some fancy video stuff like you and the music is allways a massive importand thing (you nailed it) and i always wonder how some videocreators can use licenced music in the videos…?! Thank you and cheers from germany

Danke, Jan! 🙂 Die Musik wird ueber Musikplattformen wie musicbed.com oder epidemicsound.com lizenziert. Du meldest Dich fuer einen monatlichen Subscription-Plan an und waehrend dieser aktiv ist, kannst Du eine unbegrenzte Anzahl von Songs veroeffentlichen. Oder Du kaufst die Songs einzeln, was aber ziemlich unguenstig ist. Das Lizenzieren erfolgt dann automatisch. Bis zuletzt habe ich MusicBed benutzt, bin jetzt aber bei Epidemic Sound, weil sie bessere Bedingungen haben und die Qualitaet der Musik auf einem aehnlich guten Level ist. Viel Spass! 😉
Brother , your drone shots are amazing ! I hope to visit these places by this year, thanks for the video :)

the challenge of reaching these trails is transportation. Not renting a car, but I might do a car hire if there is cell reception to call for a return pick up.

Hi! If I remember correctly, all of these trails incl. Suilven had cell reception.
I was thinking that scotland wasn't nothing special for hiking... until I watch this video. In 30:53, isn't the path too narrow ?
