Take a classic tour on the West Highland Way, the Great Glen Way, the Fife Coastal Path or try another Scotland Great Trail that is more off the beaten path such as the Rob Roy Way or the Arran Coastal Way. Maybe you would like to explore Scotland in it's entirety on one of our Discovery trips or on a Cycling trip where you will be surrounded by stunning vistas, ancient castles and where you will be welcomed with warm Scottish hospitality. After your day's pursuits, pop into a local pub for a pint or a local whisky remembering the majestic views that had you in awe. Whichever way you travel, it'll be active, fun and you will return home wishing that it had lasted a lot longer.Â

The West Highland Way is the first trip Macs Adventure operated back in 2003 and remains one of our favourite trips today. For a taste of the experience, watch this short feature about a West Highland Way father and daughter adventure.Â
The West Coast Line from Glasgow up to Fort William is a rail journey like no other. As the city and suburbs slowly dissipate, the scenery out the window becomes wilder by the second. Then to add to this the journey on the Jacobite steam train to Mallaig is one of the greatest rail journeys in the world. After that, you spend time exploring the mystical Isle of Skye on foot, one of the greatest island landscapes in the world.
Dan, our resident wildlife expert, took to the West Highland Way and recorded his whole journey. This video shows you the full route, from the starting point in Milngavie, through all the points of interest, to the finish in Fort William. Dan points out some interesting things along the route that you shouldn't miss, but this is not a video laden with spoilers. Every journey on the West Highland Way is different, dictated by the weather, the people you meet and the chance encounters with wildlife (human and otherwise!) Get a taste of what is in store on the West Highland Way with Dan.
A geological fault line in the Highlands of Scotland split the country in two and filled in with three great lochs, Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and the famous Loch Ness. There is a path that links this route, from Fort William in the West, to Inverness in the East, the Great Glen Way. It is a great mix of easy canal-side walking, heady mountain scenery and wonderful local character.
Taylor shares her experience of driving the NC500. The North Coast 500 is a classic 500 mile road trip around the Northern Highlands of Scotland. Our drive and hike trip combines great walking, welcoming accommodation, history, wildlife and more.
