Gorge Scrambling

For those looking to jump right into the Highlands with both feet then gorge scrambling (or canyoning) in the Scottish Highlands and just off the NC500 is for you. The Highlands is full of gorges giving us a range of locations that can be suitable for either a exciting family trip or a full-on adult adventure.

Your trip will begin with us kitting you out in full wet-suits and wet socks to help you stay nice and warm plus a buoyancy aid and helmet. We will then head down to the gorge where you will receive a full briefing. After that the adventure begins; head into an amazing (and not often explored) world of slides, jumps and stunning waterfalls all along the NC500 and hidden in the Scottish Highlands.

Where do we start and meet

Our gorge scrambling or canyoning trips take place all over the Scottish Highlands and the NC500. We build our gorge scrambling days round you, so we do not have a set place we run our trips. We like to is find out where you are staying in the Highlands and meet you at a location that is convenient to you. Knowing the Highlands of Scotland and the NC500 really well we are always happy to make a suggestion.
