Reviewed By Gordi05 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This area has appeared in many films an TV series, and when you see the view you can understand why. The area is easily reached, there’s a pay car park and a short walk to reach a viewpoint with stunning views (weather permitting) You can walk further if you’ve got the kit for walking in the Scottish Highlands.

Pentland Hills

Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom

Although the accepted way of enjoying the Pentland Hills is to park up and walk on the numerous trails and paths, you can also appreciate the beauty when traversing the area by car. We were driving from Edinburgh to Biggar in South Lanarkshire and the scenery of the hills as we drove through was absolutely lovely.

The Old Man of Hoy

Reviewed By 480alasdairs - Austin, United States

A lovely walk from Rackwick which goes past several wee local museums that are certainly worth a visit ( they are beside Rackwick Hostel ) The sea cliff views are amazing as is the birdwatching. Keep kids on a short leash ! In season you will drive past the RSPB observation stop for the Sea Eagles that nest there - also amazing.

Crocodile Rock

Reviewed By sashajwolf

If you go to Millport, you just have to climb on the crocodile for a ride - it's tradition! One my partner (in his 60s) and I (50s) were delighted to uphold on our most recent visit, so it really is for kids of all ages ;-)
