"Scotland, a place where nature is sacred, where we walk for hours, lose ourselves in the vastness of nature, yet still find untouched places, unaffected by time and the hand of man"  (Marta Pereira)

Fascinating Scotland in all its haunting and rugged splendour

Sin sibh a h-uile duine

(Hello everyone)

THIS is a site with a difference and I'd love to know what you are interested in! Why this particular walk? Why this part of Scotland? How do you experience this site? Enquiries? Yes, please! Use the contact page! Maybe I can help you find answers.

In short...talk to me! Help me create a 'better' or 'more rounded' and fulfilling Scotland's Finest.

  • Interesting statistic: The "Mary, Queen of Scots Way" ranks now number 3 as to the number of visitors within the few months since I added this walk to the site. Maybe Rucksack Readers will finally publish the guidebook (out of print) again! At least Marta Pereira and the undersigned did our part.
  • Nearly all regions are now 'covered'. The last one, Glasgow, is slotted for the upcoming week. From then on more sites and interesting places to visit will be added on a fairly regular basis.

Scotland's Finest (aka "My Very, Very Personal Scotland") really is a site with a difference providing basic information on intriguing places to visit, scenic routes and walking trails that have, one way or another, captured my imagination. Therefore this is a very personal site and I'm certainly aware of that. Nevertheless I hope you enjoy it all the same. As a true scotophile and a fervent walker to boot, I'd like to share this harmless addiction (harmless but full blown!) with you.

Comments are 'relatively always' (= usually) appreciated, be they positive or, heaven forbid, negative.

Scotland's Finest has only appeared on the www in the autumn of 2019 and still has a long way to go. I'm tickled though with the steady rise in visitor numbers from around the globe.

Some background information? Read "ME & WHY".

Dutch is my native tongue so there will undoubtedly be mistakes in spelling and grammar. Serious mistakes? Do let me know!
