Planning Your Holiday

Clothing

It is recommended that walkers prepare for all weather conditions in the Hebrides as we sometimes get ‘all the seasons in one day’. Waterproofs and hiking boots are your two main essentials but don’t forget sunglasses, sun cream, food and water, a compass and map (if your walk requires it.) See our weather section for prevailing conditions or call weather check on 0891 333 111 code 101 for a seven day regional forecast.
