Description

Let’s explore the Scottish Isle of Skye, site of 12 of the most challenging Munros.  I will design a custom trip that will meet your needs!

For those not yet familiar with the world of Munros, these are the peaks in Scotland that rise above 3,000 ft (or 914.4 meters).  They are named after Sir Hugh Munro, the 19th century adventurer who first compiled a complete list of all 283 such peaks.  More recently, it has become a pastime for many to attempt to summit, or “bag,” as many of the Munros as possible.

Of the 283 Munros, 12 are located located in the Black Cuillin mountains on the island of Skye.  These are considered some of the hardest to complete, as they are linked by narrow ridges and complicated, sometimes exposed, scrambles.  As the trail can be hard to follow, past hikers have found that a guide with knowledge of the route can be helpful in ensuring success.

I offer customized guiding services around the Munros of Skye.  In my experience, all 12 Munros can be completed in 4 days by someone with a decent level of fitness.  However, I am happy to offer my services for shorter trips as well.  Other than the Munros, there are great mountaineering routes nearby that can be helpful for those who want to practice ridge traverses.  I am also happy to guide anyone who simply wants to spend a day outdoors enjoying the natural beauty of Scotland.  I can tailor these trips for participants of all experience and fitness levels.

Book now and I will design a trip no matter your goals: whether you aim to “bag” all 12 Munros, just a few, or simply want to experience some of Scotland’s stunning landscapes, I can help!

Mountain Guide

We are a small guiding company based in Fort William, Scotland, at the foot of Ben Nevis. We specialize in tailor-made courses and guiding for individuals and small groups across the Scottish Highlands, focusing on quality and a personalised approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Founded by Scott Kirkhope—an outdoor professional with 20 years’ experience—we evolved from his earlier venture, Kirkhope Mountaineering (est. 2016). Scott holds the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (WMCI) qualification, is a member and Development Officer of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors, and is also a qualified mountain bike leader and coach.

We work with qualified and insured freelance guides, occasionally including trainees (with prior notice), and prioritise customer-focused, high-quality mountain adventures.

We also support the local Lochaber community through environmental and recreational initiatives, having contributed to local climbing, trail, wheeled sports, and conservation projects.

Scott was a fantastic guide. We (myself and my 17 year old son) felt 100% safe at all times. Unfortunately, due to the v high winds, we weren’t able to summit Ben Nevis - however, Scott ensured that we had a great day hiking & climbing around Ben Nevis. We will definitely return to summit Ben Nevis in the Winter - and we’ll definitely go with Scott as our guide.

The guide was Hannah in fact and she was the best, it was a great day and Hannah was brilliant.. I would never have chosen the Pap honestly speaking, however, Hannah did the review also asked a bunch of questions and watched how we did at the beginning so she was confident that it was the right hike for us, and it really was. Please give her a big thanks and to you also for a great experience, the break in the weather really helped as well

Scott was super responsive in all communications. And his colleague, Jordan, was amazing.
