Walks
Here are some of my favourite walks, in Scotland. Scottish weather can be a fickle thing, starting off with fantastic warm sunny weather and turning into winter within half an hour. A pleasant day in the glens may be a dangerous storm on the hill-tops. Please make sure you are well prepared for the route you are taking, with suitable footwear, extra clothing, waterproofs, food / water, map(s), compass and plenty of time before dark. Good weather reports can be found at www.mwis.org.
