Scotland is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.
One of the best way’s to enjoy it is to walk amongst it.
There are many hills, glens, valley’s and loch’s just
waiting to be explored. But beware, the Scottish midge can make
hill walking a living nightmare! We highly recommend using a midge
repellent to prevent those irritating bites!
For visitors,
ramblers and day-trippers alike; here are some of Scotlands most
scenic walks:
The
West Highland Way: a 95mile walk over varied terrain
from Glasgow to Fort William.
St.
Cuthberts Way: 62.5miles walk from Melrose Abbey to Lindisfarne
The
Pentland Hills: 7 mile walk in the Pentland hills a few
miles South of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh
The
Falls Of Shin: A range of circular forest walks, from
0.8miles to 1mile in the Falls of Shin in the Scottish Highlands
