OUTDOOR experts have unveiled a list of the best walks across the UK, with four from Scotland making the top 20.
The list, compiled by experts from Go Outdoors, includes walks from a variety of UK areas, ranging from the Cornish coast to the Scottish Highlands.
Researchers also graded each walk based on the terrain and how difficult it is as well as how long it usually takes.

Here’s the list:
Cairngorms – Ben Macdui and Cairngorm
Ben Macdui is the second-highest peak in the UK, behind Ben Nevis and Go Outdoors says it is “well worth the hours spent trekking to the top for the incredible views over the region”.
Cairngorms - Cateran Trail: Alyth to Blairgowrie (via the Bridge of Cally)
Coming in at around seven to 10 hours long, this trail is heavily signposted throughout the Cairngorms.
The Alyth to Blairgowrie section takes in the Bridge of Cally during the 15-mile walk with Go Outdoors saying its popular among “keen and amateur walkers alike”.
Loch Lomond & Trossachs – Loch Katrine
Loch Katrine is a freshwater loch located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
To start the walk, you need to book a ticket to Stronachlachar pier and you can walk back along the shore road from there.

It takes a little over six hours to complete.
Loch Lomond & Trossachs – Ben Lomond
Go Outdoors says that Ben Lomond is “one of the easiest” Munros to climb and that “it’s one of Scotland’s most climbed hills, second to Ben Nevis”.
It’s one of the shorter walks on the trail, taking around three hours and 40 minutes to complete.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
