WILD CAMPING THE ROB ROY WAY | Rob Roy way hike | Wild Camp UK
I have just finished wild camping in Scotland along the Rob Roy Way. This Scottish hiking trail was created in 2002 and takes its name from Rob Roy MacGregor, a Scottish folk hero and outlaw of the early 18th century.
The Rob Roy way trail is 79 miles long and runs from Drymen to Pitlochry, taking in breathtaking highland scenery and passing through pretty villages and gorgeous stretches of forest.
I would rate it as one of the best Scottish hiking trails for beginners, due to the fact it is well signposted, doesn’t have a massive elevation gain and the majority of the trail runs along minor paths and cycle routes so the terrain is east to navigate in all weathers.
I rate this long distance hiking trail as one of my favourite wild camping adventures! Walking the Rob Roy Way was beautiful, and some of the stunning wild camping spots along the way really made it something special! From a glorious wild camp alongside Loch Venachar in the Trossachs National park, to pretty woodland and forest camps in the later stages, the trail offers up locations ideal for wild camping beginners.
We used the Hiiker app for its GPS map version of this route and would highly recommend it. It’s packed full of handy features.
