I had a amazing time doing my DOFE residential. During the experience I climbed multiple hills, learned bushcraft, canoed long distances and learned many fun facts off Alistair. The leaders are very helpful and experienced so if guidance is needed they are a real help. Would highly recommend

A truly fantastic experience! Great guides, wonderful people, good food, comfortable accommodation and warm showers. I didn’t want the trip to end!

The walks on both Shetland and the Orkney Islands exceeded expectations!. Not only were the guides extremely knowledgeable they were all passionate about the history of Scotland and thoroughly enjoyed worked for Aspen Outdoors. The accommodations were pleasant and the dinner restaurant selections fantastic! Thank you all to the team for making this a memorable trip!!!

My wife and I have asked the team at Aspen to assist us in putting together a private one-month walking Tour of Scotland (mostly Highlands and Islands). Aspen has been truly exceptional ! Their expertise and their genuine enthusiasm to share the beauty of their country with us have been outstanding. The planning of our trip with the team, the guided portions of our Tour, the recommendations and guidance for the self-guided portions of our trip, and all the accommodations selected for us have all been beyond great ! More than anything, this trip has been a true «sharing experience » with our friends at Aspen, and we will be forever grateful for having had the privilege to discover Scotland with the assistance and company of such a remarkable team of great people ! Kudos and Thank you Aspen. marc and nathalie Montreal, Canada Summer 2026

Wonderful trip to so many beautiful unique locations and truly relaxing as everything was perfectly organised. Our guide Alan was always friendly, helpful and efficient, as well as flexible with accommodating the changes in the weather and our group's preferences. He also took us to some great restaurants! Thanks for a lovely holiday :)
