Walking is a key part of active travel in Scotland. It's not only a great way to get around for short everyday journeys, but also has numerous health benefits. Walking can help to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce the risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers.

In Scotland, there are numerous walking paths and trails that you can explore. These range from city walks to coastal paths and mountain hikes. The country's commitment to active travel means that infrastructure for pedestrians is continually being improved.

Our team organise step count challenges throughout the year with our funders Paths for All, more information can be found here. 

Happy walking!
