Walk Scotland: These are the 7 wondrous national walks that everybody should experience
Their ‘Seven Wonders of Scotland’s Walking World’ includes walks both short and long, incorporating Scotland’s cities, towns, villages and countryside.
And now that we are no longer living with travel restrictions, there’s no reason not to get out on the road and give them a shot – particularly in a year where Scottish staycations are set to be the most popular, and sensible, holiday choice.
How many of these have you tried, and what would your ‘eighth wonder’ be?

6. The FIfe Coastal Path
Every section of the 117 mile Fife Coastal Path, from Kincardine in the south to Newburgh in the north, has stunning sea views but the most interesting routes for first-timers are in the East Neuk, from Elie to Anstruther, and Kingsbarns to St Andrews. Expect dramatic ruins, pretty lighthouses, remarkable rock formations, fossilised tree trunks, and keep an eye out for dolphins and seals playing in the sea. Photo: Canva
