Travel Tips
I've done walks in Scotland throughout the year - never the Highlands though.

It all depends on how experienced a walker you are, and what you want from a walk - I'm more the 'head up Ben Lomond with a picnic in my rugsack' kind of girl...

There's moderate walks exploring the Lochs, and real hill walking, which can be a bit too 'adventurous' for some once the weather becomes less agreeable. And yes, it does rain a lot in Scotland...

I'd start here, for walks in the Northern Highlands:

and here for Western Highlands:

This site has a couple of walking links:

Above all, once you're there check the weather forecast as even in summer, it can change suddenly. Have a wonderful stay! Source(s): http://walking.visitscotland.com/...

Other Travel Tips
Late summer is probably best. Check out the tourism pages, and possibly start e-mailing a hotel/ B&B you find interesting to hear their reccomendations. This site looked pretty good to start with.
