Beinn Lora (Image: Laurie McMillian) Seafood, stunning scenery and a soul-salving stroll. Combine all of the above? Even better. Thankfully we’ve no dearth of great days out to enjoy in this vein around Scotland. The mantra field-to-fork is often used to convey the freshness of farm produce.

Following the Dava Way on the return to Grantown (Image: John Davidson) As a bit of a history geek, I love a daunder along disused railway lines. Conjuring in my mind’s eye what it might have been like for bygone generations as they travelled these same routes by train, seeing the landscapes flicker past the windows, like a series of frames from a film. The joy of walking, though, is that you get to experience it at your own pace.
