thx, based jeremiah dixon

The trossachs and cairngorms are both great for hiking. Most of the highlands outside of the parks you can get away with just wandering around.

are there many tourists in the national parks? one of the things i liked about northumberland was that there were very few people..

>>725422
Depends on when you go. I went in early May, and there was almost nobody. I'd imagine in summer it's more crowded though.

>>724453
Anybody else have trouble telling the bus driver you want to go to 'Milngavie'? I swear they couldn't have picked a worse place to start the trail.

I had the same problem in England when taking the train to Gloucester [spoiler]glosstah[/spoiler]

Trossachs are great. Ben Lomond is a fantastic hike if you're in that area. The Cairngorms have a less dramatic character, but equally worth visiting. Lochnagar is the classic summit there.
Really you can't go wrong by driving up the west coast, OP. Everything's incredible. Everything north of Loch Lomond, it's a kid-in-a-candy-store situation for a hiker/photographer.
My favorite area of Scotland is actually the more humble Perthshire -- it's like a more sparsely populated Cumbria. Lots of great day hikes and beautiful lochs.
I assume you've considered Skye. You can always take your car onto a ferry and explore the other western isles. My favorite memory of Scotland is standing on the ferry, watching the sun set behind South Uist while hundreds of dolphins ran alongside the boat.

I was in Scotland a couple of years ago. There was a small town called Callander a bus ride away from Stirling which had a lot of great biking trails nearby. Look into it.
