Wilderness Scotland

A word from Wilderness Scotland:

The Wilderness Scotland Difference 
All of our trips are designed to start/end from mainline train stations, and are timed to connect with the England-Scotland sleeper service.

• We are recognised by our clients and the industry as Scotland’s leading walking and adventure travel company. We have won many awards over the years and 99% of our clients say they would book with us again.
• Our professional team of guides and office staff know the wild places of Scotland better than anyone. We have a reputation for delivering the highest standards of customer service before, during and after your trip with us.
• Our guides are among the very best in the business; 90% of our clients rate their performance as excellent. 
• We are committed to the highest standards of sustainable tourism and actively support the protection of Scotland’s wild places through our Conservation Scheme.
• And finally, we offer a range of itineraries that you will find nowhere else; taking you to the most wild, remote and undiscovered parts of Scotland.

Some of the key features of our sustainable tourism strategy are as follows:
We undertake sustainability assessments for every trip that we offer which quantify the environmental, economic and social impacts.

• We have developed the UK’s first Wilderness Guide Training Programme which includes subjects such as Leave no Trace Practice and Environmental Leadership.
• We continue to seek ways to reduce our direct and indirect carbon emissions and have set ourselves the target of generating the lowest per capita emissions of any UK tour operator.
• We work closely with accommodation, restaurants and other businesses to minimise environmental impact and maximise benefits to the local economy.
