Gist of Walks in Scotland so far..

I always wanted to go on long walks but was not really sure how safe it is to go all alone. So It is limited me to short walks of an hour to two, though I have fully exploited chances to walk when ever an opportunity struck. Some of my few memorable walks in Scotland are

Glen Nevis walk: Its in to a valley, walks is all along a thin walk path, at few places it is really dangerous. I have done this walk twice, once in summer wearing formal leather shoes. And another time in winter. I liked it the second time most. Water falls there was frozen then, the water underneath steel rope for walk is frozen. In fact I had a near death experience when I fell into near frozen water a few yards away from all the crowd. Probably once of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
Walk along Water of Leith: I have done this walk again in winter. It was in the city so there is not much of a snow but there is a lot of frost. Though winter is barren it brings a weird beauty to the nature. I went all alone on this walk and I enjoyed every bit of this walk.

Dunbar walk: It was again a nice winter evening, not very cold but pleasantly chill. This was also along the coast line criss crossing golf clubs and small cliffs. Its just a walk of 6 km.

Walk to Dunnottar castle: This castle is situated around 10 miles south of Aberdeen. It is a 4 km walk from nearest town Stonehaven. It was a pleasant walk along the sea cost and across the farm land. The castle is famous and Some of the scenes from Brave hear t are shot there.

Finally I decided to find an opportunity to walk than wait for opportunity to find me. I have started googling for Walking clubs situated in Edinburgh. I cam across a handful of them, some of them are dormant some of them are active. Selected one club and I will continue with this wonderful walking club and my first walk with this club in my next blog.
