[Abercorn Museum]

Well, what can we say... Pokémon GO takes you to the most unexpected places. We might have been hoping to come across a Pikachu rather than Pictish cross shafts, but this tiny collection of ancient stones (including a Viking hogback similar to those in Govan) was an interesting diversion nonetheless. The museum building (perhaps "shed" is a more accurate term) is just within the grounds of Abercorn Church. This has a particularly lovely arch with finely carved gargoyles above the main door, but the interior was locked on our visit.

Coldstream

Image
Scottish Borders | Town | ★

Coldstream is one of the quieter of the Scottish Border towns, sitting pretty above a meander on the River Tweed with wide views across to the English side. We spent a good hour or so watching a couple of otters fishing in full sight of the riverside path here in 2019. A lack of properly old buildings in the town can be attributed to centuries of marauding armies, and the Battle of Flodden took place just a few miles away at Branxton, ending in a major Scottish defeat. Coldstream is however most frequently associated with the Coldstream Guards - the British Army's oldest continually serving regiment - ensuring that military connections continue to this day. Learn about this and more in the local museum; there's also a nearby country park ideal for a low key stroll.

Walk: Dalmahoy Hill - it's the pits!

Image
City of Edinburgh | Kirknewton | Short walk | ★★

If there's a less loved pair of summits in Scotland, we're yet to come across them. These steep-sided, volcanic sills are surrounded by undesirable neighbours - quarries, a waste transfer station, railway line and airfield - and the beginning of this route is uncomfortably close to Ravelrig Tarmac Quarry's entrance. Nevertheless, Dalmahoy Hill sports a trig pillar and wonderful views of the capital and Pentland Hills beyond the noisy pit, while Kaimes Hill boasts an extensive western panorama. The latter summit is a rather dramatic sliver of its former self, its southern slopes having been gouged by quarrying before being re-purposed as a landfill site and finally covered over with suspiciously immaculate grass: an odd place to walk. A high bealach makes combining the two hills straightforward, and the unusual surroundings mean you're fairly likely to get them all to yourself.

Walk: Ben Chonzie - tourist trail with a twist

Image
Perth & Kinross | Comrie | Half day walk | ★★★

Ben Chonzie's accessible position - fewer than 50 miles from both Glasgow and Edinburgh - makes it one of Scotland's busier summits, and a popular choice as a first Munro. Yet it's saddled with an unenviable reputation as a dull hill, thanks to some rather featureless upper slopes and a broad plateau which robs the summit panorama of airiness and depth. Our favourite route up the hill is from the less popular Loch Turret side, but here we describe the "tourist" route from Glen Lednock in ascent. Decent tracks and only a little boggy ground make for a relatively straightforward climb, with good views looking back west compensating for less interesting immediate surroundings. The hill also reputedly has a healthy mountain hare population, so keep eyes peeled around the summit plateau. Finally, we've varied the return with a pathless descent to the Invergeldie Burn, allowing a circular route and views of a much …
