    What's the story

    Scotland's islands hold a secret: hiking trails that time and tourists forgot.

    These paths offer the chance to walk with nature, not just look at it. You'll see breathtaking views, of course.

    From wild coasts to peaceful lochs, each trail offers something special.

    This article uncovers five hidden hiking trails across Scotland's islands. If you're an adventurer at heart, this is your invitation to discover the beauty that lies off the beaten path.

    Paps Trail

    Isle of Jura: Paps of Jura Trail

    The Isle of Jura's Paps of Jura, a trio of mountains, provides a challenging but rewarding hiking experience.

    Suitable for experienced mountain hikers, the trail features steep ascents and rocky terrain, culminating in panoramic views over surrounding islands and mainland Scotland.

    It offers a glimpse into the island's wild beauty and diverse wildlife.

    Ben More Trail

    Isle of Mull: Ben More ascent

    Ben More on the Isle of Mull is an undiscovered gem for hikers who want to escape the crowds.

    Towering above the island as Mull's highest point, the trail promises breathtaking views over Loch na Keal and beyond.

    The climb itself is uncomplicated but challenging due to the steep gradient, so bring your A-game.

    Plus, on a clear day, you can see all the way to Northern Ireland!

    Quiraing Loop

    Isle of Skye: Quiraing Circuit

    The Quiraing Circuit on the Isle of Skye offers a dramatic landscape of towering cliffs and rugged plateaus, sculpted by ancient landslides.

    This looped trail guides hikers through a maze of otherworldly rock formations while providing breathtaking views across Staffin Bay towards the Torridon Hills of mainland Scotland.

    Suitable for most skill levels, though caution is advised as the path can become slippery after rain. Ensure you wear proper footwear.

    Clisham route

    Harris: Clisham Horseshoe Route

    Harris is home to the challenging Clisham Horseshoe Route, a hike that circles its highest peak—Clisham Mountain itself, standing at 799 meters above sea level.

    This route offers breathtaking views across the wild landscapes of Lewis and Harris, with the sight of lochs stretching out below hikers.

    All this, with the dramatic backdrop of waves from the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the cliffs nearby, makes for an unforgettable experience.

    Goatfell Path

    Arran: Goatfell Summit Pathway

    Hike 1,874 feet into the clouds and experience breathtaking views from the granite titan's peak. Gaze upon the Firth Clyde estuary's expanse below and the west coast's rugged beauty.

    Perfect for novices and seasoned hikers, with well-maintained paths ensuring a safe ascent.

    This way, everyone can relish the adventure without worry. Enjoy the climb!
