This journey has been absolutely magical. Huge thanks to everyone who shared their tips and wisdom, and to all the wonderful people we met along the way – from fellow walkers with ready smiles to the incredibly generous folks at the restaurants, B&Bs and hotels. The peaceful way of life in each Scottish village has left such an impression on us.
