Walking in Scotland...how do you know where to go?

[Gail-force]

OK, this may be the daftest question posted, but although I love going to Scotland, I always struggle to plan my walks (I usually whip out my trusty OS maps in England, but obviously can't for Scotland)...my question...how do you plan where to walk? Do you just park up somewhere and head off and hope you can find your van a few hours later?

Wow! never heard of a Corbett...jumping onto Amazon now to do some research...Thanks!

Hughs below 2000ft.. Cobetts 2000 - 3000 ft... Munroes above 3000ft. Happy walking/climbing!

In Scotland we have freedom to roam loads of footpath walks especially in Aviemore area .

Yes indeed there are.. However IMV there is nothing wosre than starting to walk a footpath when you don't know where it goes/how far it goes and my most annoying bit is do you have to retrace you steps to get back.. I much prefer a circuit.
So knowledge of the footpaths is a must. Ok I suppose for a stroll around the area but not for ANYTHING longer

Or like when speaking to most foreigners you just talk louder?

Shuggies? Them down south looked it up in a British English dictionary where it tells us that it is a Northeast England noun for swings.
