The first two, and only, national parks came more than 20 years ago. This Scottish Government has dragged its feet in getting another - that in itself shows how much respect they have for our environment. @SaveLoch
This Scottish Government really struggles to support the environment. The national park and locals were united in opposition to this but were over-ruled.

Nature really doesn't seem to be a priority for the Scottish Government, unfortunately that seems to have been the case for quite a while. shorturl.at/3wBVf
Looking forward to being on @BBCRadioScot to talk about all things walking in autumn and enjoying nature's great display. Should be around 7.50am in the morning. #bbcgms

Thrillled to meet @GretaThunberg today in @LinlithgowVisit and tell her about @greenbattlelin. She was enjoying our beautiful loch & landscape.
How wonderful would it be if she helped us save it? Maybe she will follow us on X? – at Linlithgow, Scotland

So @manonabeach we’ve got sand, water and folk having seaside-style fun – but there is no sea at Loch Morlichin the Cairngorms. Does it qualify as a beach in your opinion?! #beachinthemountains #lochmorlich #Cairngorms @cairngormsnews

Each walk is hand-picked to be accessible from the public transport network between Perth and Inverness.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside ... I believe my walk to Yellowcraig today is a favourite spot for @manonabeach - lucky to be here researching my forthcoming walking guide for @LuathPress
