Valentine's Day is here and, when it comes down to it, the most romantic thing to do is simply spend time together.
Luckily, living in Scotland, there are more beautiful places to take a stroll together than there are to name. Spending quality time together in a beautiful setting is a perfectly low key way to spend the day - and a great last minute idea.
For an idea of picturesque locations, the National Trust for Scotland has picked out Scotland's best romantic walks, area by area, across the country for Valentine's Day.
The tidal basin, which makes up part of the estuary of the River South Esk, is home to over 80,000 migratory birds and you should keep an eye open for otters, roe deer and red squirrels along the way.
Montrose Basin is a short distance from the house and offers further spectacular walks for visitors.
One of Scotland’s oldest tower houses is surrounded by sprawling grounds and the Old Wood of Drum, which has oak trees dating from the 1700s.
The Royal Forest and Tower of Drum were actually given to the former owners, the Irvine family, by Robert the Bruce in 1323 and it is a property closely connected with the Jacobite story. When walking the ancient oak forest, you may be lucky enough to spot red kites, roe deer, red squirrels and badgers.

Crarae Garden is open daily and an accessible toilet is available at the property.
A path takes you up through woodlands, past the Burns of Care and Sorrow, which plunge down tumbling waterfalls. Overlooking this peaceful glen stand
