Highlights

See the famous Hairy Cows in Edinburgh


Join an Edinburgh-based Mountain Guide on a hike in the hills on the outskirts of the city


Scotland's mountains are world famous, so a trip to the hills should definitely be on your to-do list when you're in Edinburgh.


Experience the rugged beauty of some of Scotland's mountains as you hike through some of the country's most amazing landscapes.


This short hike takes us far into the hills, where we often see rare wildlife, spectacular cityscapes, and incredible mountain views.


We meet at Hillend, which is about 30 minites from the city centre.


Our hike then takes us up to a high viewpoint, where we can see over the city and to the sea.


We descend down the hillside where we can look for the local herd of Highland Cows grazing in their natural mountain environment. The cows live out on the hill 365 days a year and are kept as conservation grazers, helping to restore the natural ecology.


Finish at Swanston Farm (lunch can bee booked)
