Walking in Scotland
Hi Scott, Colin form bike and hike here. Looks like a fine blog you have developed for your trip. The Rob Roy Way is less well known than the West Highland Way Scotland's most well known long distance trail. The RRW way travels through some great country and crosses the Highland Boundary Fault, a geological fault, that marks the transition from the lowlands to the highlands just north of Callander at the Leny Pass. This route has been a traditional route for a long time and is named after the area and the river Leny which passes through it. The majority of the route is now within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Scotland's first national park.
The route also coincides with a cycling route, Lochs and Glens North, Glasgow to Inverness, which is part of our national cycle network for some of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your son on your trip. All the best Colin. bike and hike services.

Hi Scott. Glad you were able to make contact through this blog. You asked what the weather can be like in early June. Like most parts of the world we are experiencing very faried changes in the weather patterns. June over the last few years has gone from being fairly cool with lots of showers in 2000,2001 and 2002. To being very wet in 2003 but warm. again 2004 we had some fairly cool weather. But 2005 June was a warm and dry month, but so was the summer last year. Our day light hours a very long with light up until late evening 10p.m. ish.
In Scotland hikers and walkers will carry light wear gear but will also carry good outer shell rain wear. They also carry some light gloves and head wear just in case the temp falls. But what can I say be prepared for the worst and enjoy the best.
