Walks

Scotland's landscapes also tell their own story - mountains like Ben Nevis make it a hiker's paradise, while lochs like Loch Lomond offer scenic views for tourists with cameras in tow. If you're looking for something more modern, there's plenty of history to be seen at Edinburgh Castle or ruins like Dunnottar Castle. Whatever your taste in adventure may be, you'll find it in one of the walking articles tagged here!
