3-Day / 43km Wild Camping, Hiking and Fishing Trip in Scotland

Join me and my wife on an epic adventure through the pristine wilderness of Glen Affric in Scotland. After finalizing our gear, we packed our backpacks with the bare minimum and headed to the airport. Our flight from London Luton to Inverness was smooth, and from there we took a car ride to Glen Affric to begin our journey.

We hiked a total of 43km, starting from Dog Falls and traversing along the Eastern side of Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin, Eastern side of Loch Affric, up into the valleys via the Kintail Way, back again towards Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin meeting point, crossing over to the Western side of Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin for the final stretch.

The wilderness was in a state I’d never seen before: truly breathtaking and life-giving. We enjoyed two beautiful nights of camping in two epic spots, and spent three days exploring the untouched, virgin wilderness. It took us 48 hours to complete the 43km distance while carrying our packs. On the first night, we had a fire on the shingle beach, using bushcraft fire lighting techniques to get it going, including a ferro rod and silver birch bark, and old man's beard for tinder.

The fishing was as epic as the landscape itself. I managed to catch seven wild brown trout, returning six and keeping one to eat on the last night. It was absolutely delicious, and I’m grateful for the trout's life that provided us with sustenance.

This trip was filled with magical moments that will stay with me forever. It fuelled my soul and spirit to new heights, giving me a taste of even more pristine wilderness and fuelling my desire to find more untouched, virgin wilderness to experience, enjoy, and explore.

Join me on this adventure through Scotland's stunning Glen Affric, and experience the beauty of this unspoiled wilderness for yourself.
