Anna Danby
“I’m Anna, an adopted Scot at home in the Highlands. I love spending time in the mountains, whether I’m running, walking, rock climbing, wild swimming, or winter mountaineering.
After over 15 years working in science education and leadership, I qualified as a Summer & Winter Mountain Leader and set up Wild Roots Highland Guiding. Enabling me to share my passion for the mountains with others and help people discover more about our amazing landscapes. I offer guided walking, wild camping journeys, and mountain skills courses.
The ethos of Wild Roots is focused on landscape, nature connection, and well-being. My personal experience gives me a strong belief that close relationships with place are vital for our mental and physical health as well as the future of our planet. Such relationships are rooted in understanding as well as experience. My guiding includes both, combining a storied element with a physical challenge.
Although never focussed on summits they’re often an equal part of the experience. My hope is that through my journeys people will gain skills, confidence, and inspiration to fuel their own independent mountain adventures. ”
