Scotland has a hugely diverse range of walking opportunities in an extraordinary number of landscapes and habitats, all with an enormous breadth of history, heritage and cultural interest. The most outstanding of these treasures are brought together in this carefully curated selection of 60 walks, 48 'don't miss' sites and 42 picture essay locations, in total including more than 300 very special features of interest for you to visit. From the white-sand beaches and turquoise sea around the island of Berneray, to the rare Alpine flora in Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve, and the resurgent riverside of Glasgow's West End and vibrant waterfront at Dundee, to majestic Glen Coe and expansive Galloway Forest Park, there is an array of environments to explore, with each walk not only showing you the way but picking out the extra-special features of interest along the way.
