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:
www.markusrosehill.com
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 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!

Thanks for your sharing and I hope you continue doing this for more countries :D

    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! 😉
