About Omega

Omega Guiding is all about brilliant Scottish adventures. Rob our Owner started Omega Guiding a few years ago after living in the Highlands for 10 years. It was born from a love of getting to introduce people to the amazing adventures that Scotland can provide. Now we run trips all over Scotland, taking people to some of the places we love to visit ourselves and sharing our passion for the outdoors.
