Gaby is phenomenal. We went on a 4-day, 3 night hike in the Cairngorms. She was a calm leader, taking weather and danger seriously but letting us all determine our own comfort levels. She arranged all rental gear and provided food. All was perfect. She was great with our teenagers.

My daughter and I just took a bucket list trip to Scotland, and our hike with Gaby was the highlight!! She took us on a beautiful 5-hour hike in Trossachs National Park and was incredibly mindful of my physical limitations. She was so thoughtful, and never made me feel bad for being such a slow hiker! Our favorite part was the foraging lessons and plant identification! She really got to know our interests and by the end of the hike we both felt like we’d made a new friend!

Here are some suggestions of areas to explore:
Glencoe
An area rich with walks, whether big peaks, smaller but no less spectacular ones (which are suitable as a first Munro), or low level routes into steep-sided glens and woodlands.
The Isle of Arran:
A short hop from the mainland, the mountains of Arran provide a spectacular array of jagged granite peaks, exciting hill walking, and a sense of complete escape. Choose from glens or peaks (or a bit of both).
The Trossachs and Loch Lomond
As well as the famous Ben Lomond (using the popular route or the quieter one), this area offers a variety of hills and mountains, woodland trails, and lochside routes with fantastic views of the Highlands.
The Campsie Fells and the Kilpatricks
If you’re after gentle and rolling hills within easy reach of Glasgow, these ranges are the perfect escape. Routes vary from 3 to 5 hours and can include waterfalls, rocky outcrops, and some excellent view points.
Knoydart
A wild peninsula only accessible by boat or by foot, with mountains, ancient woodland and incredible wildlife. Perfect for overnight trips.
Cairngorms
It’s easy to get away from it all in the Cairngorms. High plateaus, mountain passes, inaccessible lochs, and unique wildlife make these mountains very special.
