Walking is a wonderful way to introduce children to the great outdoors. What better place to get them excited about walking than the Scottish countryside? Whether you are a long distance enthusiast, partial to peaks and ridges, an inn-to-inn walker or simply interested in an afternoon stroll, there are hundreds of paths to choose from and many are specifically graded for families. Thanks to a network of paths, designated as rights of way, you are likely to find walking trails no matter where you holiday in Scotland. For those looking for an additional incentive, a study by Edinburgh University has found that students who walk are more fit and active in school than those who are driven to class. So, start creating the habit during your holidays. Walking is fun and keeps the entire family healthy and relaxed. Here's to a walking holiday in Scotland.
