Cairngorm

Highlands

Scotland is a ripe old country for dog walking, with its beguiling, wild moors, undulating valleys and gorgeous lochs and lakes. But for a challenge, try bagging a munro with the dog in tow. ‘Munro bagging’ is the act of climbing peaks that are over 3,000 feet, and Scotland has plenty. We love Cairngorm – a ski centre in winter and a hiker’s paradise in spring and summer. A good path leads all the way to the peak from the visitor centre, and the hike to the top and back can be done in around three hours. cairngormmountain.co.uk
