Incredible Family adventures in the wilds of Scotland

Scotland! Towering mountains, glittering lochs, dense woodlands and miles upon miles of golden beaches - Scotland's landscapes and natural scenery really will take your breath away. Tour the rolling hills and lush farmland of the Lowlands, or drive through deep glens surrounded by mountains in the Highlands. Uncover magnificent coastal features in the west, and explore the atmospheric, royal settings of the east.Head to one of the Dark Sky Parks or spots where you can marvel at the sparkling night sky, dip your toes into our crisp sea water, wander around one of the many glistening fresh-water lochs, or venture out into the wilderness to see if you can catch the Northern Lights dancing in the sky.Taking a little adventurer along with you, however small, shouldn’t be daunting or stressful. It is a great bonding experience for both of you. Time outdoors benefits your mental and physical health and teaches your little one the magic and beauty of the great outdoors, magic that will stay with them for a lifetime.With the right clothing and equipment, a little bit of patience and plenty of snacks, you are guaranteed to have a brilliant time. Embrace the nappy explosions, the sudden downpours and the giant tantrums - it’s all part of the adventure. You will take something away from every walk you do and create memories for your children that they’ll take into adulthood.Blaze Trails is the UK’s parent and baby walking community.
