Named after the 'father of national parks' John Muir, the John Muir Way is a coast-to-coast trail which runs 134 miles from Helensburgh to Dunbar, the birthplace of the man who would be instrumental in founding America's national parks. The trail makes a great multi-day hike, with accommodation available at the end of each section. As the weather in Scotland is ever changeable, it is always recommended that you carry warm and waterproof layers with you on your walk.

A shapely hill range rather than a single mountain, Beinn a' Ghlò has three Munro summits giving a strenuous day. The summits may be rounded, but the steep flanks and sculpted form of this great massif makes for a memorable outing.

Enjoy this 14.3-km out-and-back trail near Falkirk, Falkirk. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 6 min to complete. This is a popular trail for running and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. An easy-going route is suitable for most abilities, so it is a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors. The trail is flat and all on a path, so there is no mud, making it suitable throughout the year.
