Rob Roy Way Essential Information
Accommodation
One of the highlights of this walking holiday is the high standard of the accommodation you will enjoy. The hotels, inns, guesthouses and B&B’s we use are hand-picked to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. All offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional hospitality and delicious local food. We do recommend that you book this trip early as the area is always popular and the hotels and inns do fill up early, especially in high season. You will find descriptions, photos and weblinks to a selection of the accommodation below.
Single Rooms
This independent walking holiday is available to solo walkers but as all our holidays are priced per person based on two sharing there is a single supplement payable to cover the additional costs we incur. If you require single rooms within your party we will of course try to accommodate your request subject to availability. Please note that singles may not be of the same standard as twins.
Meals
Breakfast is included each morning while lunch and dinner are not included so you are free to choose from the available options. Your accommodation will be more than happy to provide a packed lunch on request and this can be booked on arrival, alternatively your guidebook also includes details of local shops and convenient lunch stops on the way. Dinner is available either at your accommodation or nearby pubs and restaurants and your info pack will of course have recommendations.
Baggage Transfer
Your bags will be collected from your accommodation each day and moved onto your overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 15kg per person.

Tour Reviews
Travel Information
Getting to Drymen and from Pitlochry
Air Glasgow has two airports which are convenient for the start of the Rob Roy Way in Drymen. Glasgow International Airport, west of the city centre, is only a 30 minute transfer by taxi, whilst Prestwick Airport is 30 miles south of the city and involves a 90 minute transfer by taxi. Pitlochry is approximately 2 hours to Edinburgh Airport and 3 hours to Glasgow International Airport by taxi. Consider getting one way tickets into Glasgow for Drymen and out of Edinburgh for Pitlochry. If this is not cost effective get a return flight to and from Glasgow.
Rail / Bus From Glasgow
Take a bus direct to Drymen from Buchannan Street Bus Station with the journey taking one hour. From Pitlochry a direct train to either Edinburgh or Glasgow takes only 2 hours
Road
Cars can be left in Drymen in a public non secure car park. To retrieve you car at the end of the walk will require a taxis transfer or the use of public transport via Perth and Glasgow which could take as much as 4 hours.
Private Transfers
We are more than happy to organise private transfers and airport pickups and drop-offs at very reasonable prices. This often works out as a very cost effective option for small groups. Please contact us with your requirements for a quote.
