Hill walking Safety - the unspoilt beauty of the Angus Glens means that way markings and route signs are few and far between and there's a good chance you won't meet other walkers on the routes.

Adequate preparation for walking is essential, especially as the Scottish weather is so unpredictable - always check the weather before you set off. We recommend you have full waterproof clothing with walking boots, (we can supply the boots and waterproofs if needed) hat, gloves, food and drink, maps and directions (which we supply) and for most walks, the ability to do some basic map reading and navigation. Check the grading of the walk before you choose your holiday and contact us if you have questions.
