Highland Cow Hike en Edimburgo
Descripción
Ver las famosas Vacas Peludas en su entorno natural en Edimburgo Únete a un guía de montaña en Edimburgo en una caminata en las colinas en las afueras de la ciudad Experimente la belleza escarpada de algunas de las montañas de Escocia mientras caminamos por algunos de los paisajes más increíbles del país. Esta corta caminata nos lleva lejos en las colinas, donde a menudo vemos vida silvestre rara, paisajes urbanos espectaculares e increíbles vistas a la montaña. Nos encontramos en Hillend, que está a unos 30 minutos del centro de la ciudad. Nuestra caminata nos lleva hasta un mirador alto, donde podemos ver la ciudad y el mar. Levantarnos nos permite encontrar las vacas más fácilmente. Descendemos por la ladera donde podemos buscar el rebaño local de Vacas de las Tierras Altas pastando en su entorno natural de montaña. Las vacas viven en la colina los 365 días del año y se mantienen como pastores de conservación, ayudando a restaurar la ecología natural. Terminamos en Swanston Farm (el almuerzo se puede reservar) donde se pueden ver algunas vacas más en un campo.

Marcus was great! He was super knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He was very patient for those of us who are old and broken, allowing for frequent stops as we climbed higher and higher to locate the cows.
Amazing experience. Marcus was very informative and patient with slower walkers. He told us about different formations, plants and more. We got to see Highland Cows in the fields. We were lucky and they were close to the path. The whole experience was unbelievable, this was one of the main things we wanted to do in Edinburgh and Marcus and this experience was above our expectations.
Marcus was an absolutely wonderful guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is mindful of the individual needs of group members. The hike offers spectacular views of both the city and countryside. But the show stopper is the beautiful herd of highland coos! Thank you, Marcus, for creating a wonderful memory for my daughter and me!
Marcus is an excellent guide. Very personable, friendly, and cheerful. I thoroughly enjoyed both the sunset hike and the hikes on Swanston Farm, as Marcus shared a great deal about the vegetation and history during the sunset hike and guided me up the mountain to the wonderful Highland Coohs until we finally found them. The hikes are highly recommended and very enjoyable.
Amazing scenery and a very knowledgeable and friendly guide! You can see all of Edinburgh and of course seeing the highland cows were a bonus. 10/10 would recommend.
This is one of the best experiences I have ever been able to do. Hiking 1500 feet up, seeing the Edinburgh and the North Sea as a panoramic view and walking along a herd of highland cows in their natural surroundings. I would highly recommend this for any outdoorsman.
What can I say, I was so looking forward to this trip, and Marcus did not disappoint, I'm so grateful for all the knowledge you gave me, showing the views both going up and down, explaing about the plants, it was such an added bonus to come back down and be so close to the cows, (I took plenty of pictures), I would definitely do this again in a different season, thank you Marcus you made the trip so much more memorable.
Marcus was a lovely guide, very organized and knowledgeable about the area. We got lucky with great weather and enjoyed the amazing views that kept getting more and more spectacular the higher we climbed. Finishing for lunch at Swantson Farm was a nice way to finish. They have delicious scones!
Marcus was great. I had a great time out on a trail that I had some degree of choice on. I went for the highest peak as I am a bit of a completionist. The activity was neatly planned with a bus route in mind, so the only think I had to bring was myself. There was a bit of time at the end waiting for the bus to get a coffee or food so I never felt rushed
