Central Scotland
The Trossachs has beautiful woodlands, the pretty towns of Callendar and Aberfeldy, and one of my favourite hills in Scotland, Ben Ledi.
Nestled below the dramatic Ochils, above the hidden tropical Dollar Glen, sits the imposing Castle Castle Campbell.
New Lanark, one of only 6 World Heritage Sites in Scotland, is the jewel in the Clyde Valleys crown.
Blackness Castle is often called ‘the ship that never sailed’ due to its boat-like appearance from the sea, it’s location also makes for some stunning views of the river and across to Fife.
The Royal Burgh of Culross is one of Scotland’s best preserved 17th-century villages
Mythical sea beasts, shapeshifting water spirits which inhabit our rivers and watercourses. Have you found one wandering the paths looking out for weary travellers to help safely along their way?
Just to the west of Edinburgh, and hidden in the valley of the River Almond, the Almondell Country Park is 97 acres of unspoilt woodland and spectacular views. It is beautiful whatever time of the year you visit.
Take a walk through the woods to Maspie Den. Once a hunting park for Stuart Kings and Queens, the Falkland Estate is very picturesque and a more than little spooky.
