Scotland is a country blessed with incredible walks taking in amazing landscapes - from rugged coastal paths and mountain trails, to glorious glens and lush woodland.
There’s never a bad time to go for a hike, but autumn can be a pretty magical time in our country.
The summer crowds of tourists have left for another year, the trees are turning a million shades of yellow, red and orange, and it’s the best time to spot some of our most elusive wildlife.
We asked our army of readers to suggest the best spots for an autumn stroll and they did not disappoint - coming up with a wide range of suggestions, from the Borders to the Highland - and from short walks to epic adventures.
Here are 15 of the best.
13. Glengarry Forest
To the north of Fort William, Glengarry Forest has a beautiful and unusual mix of ancient Scots pine and deciduous trees, resulting in a wonderful combination of autumn colours. If you're (very) lucky you mught even see otters playing in the River Garry. | Canva/Getty Images
14. Killin
Located on the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, the pretty village of Killin is a great starting point for a walk through the forest to Ardtalnaig along the Rob Roy Way. Enjoy the lovely views over Loch Tay and make sure to take in the Falls of Dochart. | Canva/Getty Images
