The North Sea Trail in Scotland takes walkers through some wonderfully diverse landscapes of natural and cultural heritage significance.Scotland has an astonishingly varied coastline for walking.Walk by romantic sheltered bays framed with rolling sand dunes, tidal estuaries and salt marshes, rocky shores and rugged cliffs. |
These environments support a huge number of seabird colonies such as gannets, skuas, puffins, and kittiwakes, and other migrants from around the North Sea such as pink-footed geese, dunlin and knot.The shallow North Sea waters of Scotland also support populations of whales and dolphins. All of which makes for a fantastic wildlife spectacle.
You are bound to experience genuine Scottish hospitality and a warm welcome in any of the traditional fishing villages up and down the coast, where you can also see "clinker-built" fishing boats characteristic of North Sea heritage.Explore historic castles and churches, as well as ancient standing stones and prehistoric sites.Why not combine your exploration with a visit to a distillery, experience a traditional Scottish ceilidh, and don’t forget your golf clubs, fishing rod and binoculars.Walkers are truly welcome in Scotland, and the North Sea Trail guarantees some spectacular walking opportunities whatever your capability, or time available.
