Variety is a great part of any trail running program, and Scotland has it in droves. Stunning paths along “lochs,” or lakes, supplement pasture routes, all within the incredible expanse of the Scottish countryside. The size allows for a number of different trails and distances, catering to the level and experience of the participants. Combining a trail running program with a nature discovery, canyoning, or hiking trip is also idyllic. This will remove all the restraints to experiencing the country, and you can see its beauty from a multitude of disciplines.
