- Time of past OR future Camino
- None at the moment... but am walking the North Highland Way...
The North Highland Way has been renamed the Camino of St. Brian and we are hoping to work with other caminos in Scotland to raise the profile of the Scottish Caminos, including Orkney. This exciting venture took off in 2008, and, without any public money at all, we have already brought inward investment to Scotland.
St. Brian was St. Brian Arrowsmith, whose father served in the lowlands fighting for the Spanish, or so the story goes. So... there is a link with Spain.
The route is named after Brian Sparks who lived at Dunnet Head for over 15 years and was instrumental in launching the North Highland Way. Brian's English teacher was Mr. Arrowsmith! What a story! Come and walk the Camino with us.
We also aim to make this a sustainable tourism route.
There are no albergues on the route, but there are a number of campsites, bed and breakfasts and hotels.
