Dog Friendly Scottish Walks

Want to find dog friendly walks in Scotland but not sure where to begin? Then check out Dog Friendly Scotland's walks guide:

Forestry Commission Scotland
The Forestry Commission in Scotland oversees a huge number of forests, the majority of which are great for dog walking – from short all-access trails with walks of less than an hour, through to forest trails or lochside walks of a few hours, or, if you’re feeling really energetic then you may fancy a full day of hiking for you and your canine companions. Many walks are way-marked, making the routes easy to follow.
Locate a forest walk near you on the Forestry Commission Scotland website


Visit Woods
The Woodland Trust’s Visit Woods website allows you to search for woods all over the country. Simply type in a town or postcode and you’ll get a list of woodlands in your chosen area – then just get out and enjoy those woodland walkies!


Community Woodlands
Scotland boasts a large number of community owned and managed woodlands which are open to the public. Some woodlands have designated signposted trails whilst others are areas where you can just wander as you wish.
