As to your question, border collies are a hardy breed with a dense coat - could they not sleep outside the tent?

If you are walking the West Highlaned Way with dogss, I suggest you buy and staudy a good book on the subject well before you go

You will be traversing farms and estates most of the way and loose dogs, even thee most obediant ones, will not be tolerated and probably shot on sight, with good reason. So you must keep your dogs on leads at all times.

Be aware that you will ge crossing Deer Fences and although these have ladders, you will need to carry your dogs over these. They can be 15 or 20 foot high.

The worst part of the walk was between Rowardennan and Inversnaid when we seemed to be walking on tree roots for miles on end. This was very sore on the ankles.

Good luck with your walk.
