See Scotland your way with some great trails
Scotland’s Great Trails give you the best off-road opportunities
to explore our fantastic countryside. You can walk or ride them.
Take the family to tick off a bite-sized chunk or do a bit each
weekend and bag the whole route together. Most importantly they
are an enjoyable way of getting some free exercise at any time
of year!

country?

about the individual routes.
From source to sea, follow some of our big
rivers to their coastline. Breathe in the heady summer scents,
picnic on the river banks and enjoy the opportunities to dip those
hot, weary toes!
If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty
air…savour these trails with your favourite ice cream. We can
guarantee sand and seabirds along these coastal paths and you can
enjoy them in the warm Scottish sunshine during the summer
months.
Take a journey back in time on historical
trails. You can follow in the footsteps of St Cuthbert or imagine
the Gregorian singing in the Borders' Abbeys.
Are you a transport and travel fan? Enjoy
several canal towpaths, The Falkirk Wheel and some of our old
railway lines with these easy-going paths.
If it’s wild and wonderful you want, these
trails have got it. Pack your sack and be prepared to experience
some of Scotland’s best dramatic mountain and loch scenery.
All of these routes are physically accessible
yet close to home for most of us and offer the best way-marked and
scenic longer routes in Scotland. You’ll be unlucky not to
encounter some of our wildlife on your travels and the routes are
ideal for taking the family off-road safely. Where will Scotland’s
great trails take you?
