Scotland

Mountains, Glens, Coastlines, and Long-Distance Routes

From the mountains of the Highlands and Cairngorms to island coastlines, glens, forests, and open moorland, Scotland contains some of the most distinctive landscapes in Britain. Trails such as the West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, Speyside Way, and Southern Upland Way reveal many of these environments, while routes including the Rob Roy Way, John Muir Way, Fife Coastal Path, and Skye Trail connect some of the country's most distinctive places and landscapes.

Long-distance routes pass through National Parks, National Scenic Areas, remote glens, coastal regions, forests, and mountain terrain, linking communities and landscapes across the country. Together, these routes reveal the geography, history, and character that continue to shape Scotland today while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace.
