Our Walks in Scotland |
|
I know, Scotland is too big to lump in one area but it will be split up into more manageable areas once we've explored a bit more and bullied some contributors into going walking! Highlands and islands, glens and coast and of course geology to die for....Scotland's got it all! Oh, and apparently there's something called whisky...

FREE WALK SUGGESTIONS!! |
Here are some more ideas of where you can take your pushchair. These are lovely places to go, but not worth a route description. |
Oban Sea Front - walk along the promenade to the lighthouse picnic spot for views of the islands and ferries. The road continues 2 miles to Ganavan beach, but there is about 1km without pavement.
Loch Lomond - for a level stroll on the western shore, walk along the old A82, now an access for all path. Central access at Firkin Point.
Station Park, Moffat is a must! Lovely gardens, playground, cafe, boats, ducks and a water play area, it'll be hard to drag the kids away. |

PWA15 Ariundle Oakwoods, Strontian |
1 hour 30 mins: 3 miles (5km) |
|
A delightful walk through forest and along riverside heathland to ancient oakwoods, past tumbling waters and a historic village with lovely views all the way. Paths are good, but rough grass by the river means ATPs only. There are two narrow gaps between boulders, so if your pushchair is wide, you'll need two people to lift. |
|
 |
PWA16 Cramond Sea Front, Edinburgh
|
2 hours: up to 4 miles (8 km) |
|
An easy stroll along the Firth of Forth to the picturesque village of Cramond . Great for bikes, popular with dog walkers and suitable for all, this walk is flat and smooth all the way, with beaches, ducks, tea shops and a pub for added entertainment. |
|
 |
PWA18 Roughcastle Roman Fort, Falkirk |
1 hour: 2 miles (3.5 km) |
|
A walk through history from the Falkirk Wheel back in time 2000 years to visit Rough Castle Roman Fort on the Antonine Wall. Gravel paths all the way and suitable for all pushchairs, with great views of the boat wheel and canal, and the chance to take a ride through the wheel! |
|
 |
PWA8 Oban to Kerrera Ferry |
2 hours: 3 miles (5 km) |
|
A great but tough walk to a viewpoint overlooking Oban harbour before heading cross-country to return along a beautiful coast road. A variety of paths – road, track and even a bit of bog-hopping! ATP's only and previous off-road experience advised. |
|
 |
PWA14 Cruachan Reservoir, Loch Awe byTaynuilt
|
4 hours: 6 miles (10km) |
|
A hillclimb suitable for all pushchairs! This long route takes you into the heart of the Cruachan massif, and all on good track. Our first hard walk suitable for strollers, with stunning mountain scenery. But remember the first 3 miles are all uphill… There are no facilities around the route and a leash is recommended for the descent. |
|
 |
PWA22 Ardgour Lochans, by Fort William |
1 hour 15 mins: 2.5 miles (4km) |
|
A scenic woodland walk around two lochans on the shores of Loch Linnhe. Lovely coastal views with a Telford church and a Stevenson lighthouse as well as 2 pubs on the route... Good paths and tracks all the way and suitable for all pushchairs, though strollers may find some sections bumpy. |
|
 |
PWA20 Rob Roy's Grave, Balquhidder |
1 hour: 1.5 miles (2 km) |
|
A straightforward but fairly strenuous woodland walk above the village of Balquhidder , nestling in a remote valley. Atmospheric in both sun and snow, this walk gives you slightly more than a quick car trip to Rob Roy's grave, and is strenuous in places. ATPs only. |
|
 |
PWA25 Ardgartan Woodland, Arrochar |
1.5 hours: 2 miles (3km) |
|
Walk in tranquil woodland and along the loch shore in the heart of the Arrochar Alps with fantastic views and a carpet of bluebells in spring. Good paths, which are rough in places so ATPs only. There is one short but very steep section which is better with 2 people. |
