• Anyone have decent experience with Scotland? I'm going to Glasgow for a conference in July, after which my partner's meeting me. We have three full days (July 23, 24, 25) before having to get the train back from Edinburgh on the 26th.

    She's not been to Scotland before and the initial idea was to see Glasgow and Edinburgh, but now we're thinking maybe take our tent and do a small overnight hike. Maybe 23-24, get train to Edinburgh for a day there.

    Thoughts? Suggestions? Where to go? West Highland Way is apparently stunning, but not sure what parts are good for the time constraints. Thanks for any advice!

  • A friend walked the whole thing recently and said this about a mini trip:

    Start around Loch Lomond (South End) and walk to the start of the wild camping area (around 15 miles). There are good views of highlands/mountains in the next 2 days of walking. It would require a pretty lengthy train to Edinburgh though...

  • Cheers, Ed - I'll check the details out. Don't mind a long train ride as long as it's relatively inexpensive. Also open to other options though.
