Scotland's Rob Roy Way Self-Guided Walking Tour

The Rob Roy Way crosses the National Park from West to East and is available as a 7 night self guided walking holiday in Scotland. The Rob Roy Way route takes you through the National Park with fabulous views of the many great Lochs of the region. This hiking holiday in Scotland starts in Drymen and ends in Pitlochry which both can be reached easily using public transport.

The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park was officially opened in 2003. Loch Lomond is one of the well-known Lochs in Scotland (after Loch Ness) and the surrounding area to the east of this loch is the region of the Trossachs. Our Rob Roy Way hiking tours will start just to the south of Loch Lomond which is approx. 30km from Glasgow. The walk follows a generally north-east direction and also crosses the Highland Boundary Fault; which was formed in the Ice age. The total walk 125 km long and can be walked in 6 days. Along this Rob Roy Walk, you can see the stunning scenery this region has to offer. Including the beautiful lochs of Venachar, Lubnaig, Earn and Tay to name a few.
