Family Walks in Scotland

In this section you'll find a range of walks covering all areas of Scotland, which are suitable for family outings - walks that provide interest and amusement, fun and fascination for all ages and are the perfect addition to any holiday or short break to Scotland.

Walking in Scotland is a great way to encourage children into the great outdoors and to encourage them to get the active habit, especially with the pressures of healthy living and well being - what better time to get them excited about walking in the countryside!

Family walks shouldn't be too long. They should be relaxing, fun and full of interest for all and it's also important to treat the walk as a journey of exploration or adventure and to go at the child's pace. Take a picnic and plenty to drink and head for a landmark that will appeal to them such as a swing park, castle, ice cream van or pond.

Walks suitable for family outings are denoted by the specific family walks symbol and each walk route provides basic details with sources of further information (where available) at the end of each entry.
