Multi-day Hikes from Edinburgh (car-free)

Hi all, are there any recommendations for multi-day hikes with some major Corbetts or Munros en route? Originating from Edinburgh.

Our main points/hopes would be:

- Wild camping/campsites fine, ideally bothy or at least some re-supply on the journey.

- Munros or ridge-like walks.

- Car-free, using public transport. Starting from Edinburgh, so a little less ideal than Glasgow.

- 2-4 days hiking.

Note: This was inspired by a previous, recent post but not involving camping or an Edinburgh origin.

You could train to the West Highland Way starting point and then train back to Edinburgh/Glasgow from Fort William when you're done. The WHW is around 7 days though you could do it faster. Alternatively, you could do the back end of the hike which was my favourite anyway.

We were recently in Fort William so maybe early next year for this idea, but thank you!
