Walkhighlands Information

Walkhighlands' mission is to encourage the enjoyment of walking through being the best information source and social network for walkers in Scotland. In doing so we also aim to help the small, local tourism businesses so vital to Scotland's rural economy through providing low-cost, highly-targeted advertising. Walkhighlands is the busiest walking site in the UK and far and away the busiest outdoors website in Scotland, with 400,000 unique visitors checking in each month. We are constantly expanding and currently feature over 1,900 walking routes including everything from detailed routes up every Munro to short woodland or even urban walks. Through our partnership with the Ordnance Survey, every route has a detailed map. We also feature podcasts giving the correct pronunciaton and place-name meanings, a 3D visualisation of every route, gradient profiles, route downloads for GPS devices and much, much more. Our users record their own outdoors experiences through their personal 'walks diaries' and can share their walking stories, photos and videos on the routes and hill descriptions throughout the site. Users can even draw and share their routes on Ordnance Survey mapping using our unique GPS planner. For those attempting a long term objective such as the Munros we provide interactive personal 'hill-bagging' maps to record your progress. All the features on Walkhighlands are free of charge for personal use.
