Mr

Great app. The searchbar has recently stopped working, other than that it’s great

Navigating the Scottish Highlands

The best of the best. I live in the US and Walkhighlands has everything you need. No need to look elsewhere

App

Love the app. But I would like distances between each step included. I think it would benefit those of us who find it difficult to follow instructions!

Excellent!

Walkhighlands has been my go to resource for walks for many years, and it’s hands down my favourite corner of the internet. I so appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining and developing it. This new iteration of the app looks to be an excellent improvement on the earlier version. Thank you!

Amazing

This app is amazing. It helped us make a recent trip to Scotland something really special. Without this app, we would have certainly gotten lost on a few trails. It also helped us find some great walks nearby when we were looking to fill some time. Great map even for trails that aren’t “official” walks. Cannot say enough good about it.
