Five of the best Scotland winter walks with stunning views
22.11.2022 - 17:31 / dailyrecord.co.uk
With December just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about one of the season's most underrated highlights: winter walks.
Nothing beats heading out on a hike in the crisp winter air, and with so many gorgeous trails right on our doorstep here in Scotland, we are spoilt for choice on where to go.
You really can't go wrong no matter where you head on a walk this winter, whether it's your local park or a hike up a munro. However, some trails in the country are particularly awe-inspiring.
Here is a selection of five of what we believe to be among the best winter walks in Scotland.
It would be impossible not to include Glen Coe on this list, as the glen is home to some of the most spectacular views in Scotland. While it's stunning all year round, it will truly take your breath away in the winter.
There are a number of hills and mountains in the area, with routes to match every skill level. Staff at the Glencoe Visitor Centre will be able to provide advice on the best routes.
No matter which walk you choose, you're sure to see some stunning views and maybe even some deer. It's no wonder that Glen Coe has been used as a filming location for a number of big-budget Hollywood movies, from Skyfall to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
It is recommended that if you travel to Glen Coe for a winter hike, you check the weather reports beforehand and wear appropriate gear such as winter walking boots. This is true of all of the locations on this list.
One of the first things you're likely to notice on this magical Perthshire walk is the towering Douglas Firs. In fact, they are among the highest trees in the UK.
The Hermitage is a great walk during the winter, as spray from the River Braan coats the rocks and trees with ice.
