Scotland's
Great Trails

This is a list of the Great Trails of Scotland. This is their equivalent to the National Trails of England Wales. There are currently (2012) 20 Great Trails and between them they cover over 1300 miles. Each trail is at least 25 miles long and are mostly off road. They are waymarked and nationally promoted.

The map on the right shows the rough position of the walks and running your mouse over each one will give you the name of the walk.

Where the names in the first column are hyperlinked this links to a Location Guide page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.
