Climate
Probably the most common question we are asked is "What will the weather be like?". Well, in the highlands of Scotland the weather is certainly a talking point and as I like to say "If you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes."

We have a maritime climate and a substantial amount of rain which gives us wonderful green glens, tumbling waterfalls and huge lochs. The Great Glen Way can be walked most of the year but is best between March and October. The most popular times are May and September while July and August are also busy.
