Calderglen Zoo

South Lanarkshire | East Kilbride | Zoo | ★★★

[Calderglen Zoo and Conservatory]

Meerkats, tamarins and coatis; wildcats, burrowing owls and leaf-cutting ants... Calderglen Zoo doesn't have the big-name animals to rival Edinburgh Zoo, but for the tiny admission fee you won't be complaining. This family-friendly menagerie occupies a small corner of Calderglen Country Park on the edge of East Kilbride, and has around 50, mostly fun-sized species housed around an attractive garden area, with a few more inside a warm conservatory. If you've time to spare afterwards, take a walk along the Rotten Calder river.

Walk: Signal Rock - the Glencoe Massacre & mountain magic

Image
Highland | Glencoe | Short walk | ★★★★

Very few walks are as emotive as the short loop visiting Signal Rock in Glen Coe. This gnarled boulder is now surrounded by forest but is said to have been the place (though there is some doubt) where government forces commanded by Robert Campbell of Glenlyon gave the order to attack the local MacDonald clan. Contrast this sobering event with the feeling of elation when the wonderful sight of the Clachaig Gully and the end of the Aonach Eagach ridge is revealed from An Torr. The circuit is a quick one - rare for this fine glen, where many of the best spots involve more serious hikes - but conceals a handful of surprisingly steep sections; refuelling may therefore be required at the famous climbers' haunt of the Clachaig Inn near the finish.

Walk: The blue pools of Ballachulish

Image
Highland | Ballachulish | Short walk | ★★★★

Sparkling blue pools in a rocky amphitheatre are the local legacy of Ballachulish's once important slate mining industry, now forming an unusual backdrop to a dense network of walking routes. The Brecklet Trail developed by Forestry and Land Scotland rises high above the quarry's west cliffs, soon revealing stunning views both over the manmade lakes and along Loch Leven. After the steep ascent the panorama is lost as the path plunges into a dark forest, but small waterfalls, abandoned buildings and even a small fairy village (see our photo guide!) ensure there's still plenty of visual interest. The quarry interior and a nearby inclined plane (used for transporting slate from the upper parts of the quarry down to sea level) are both reachable by short detours from the walk's start point, and are included on the route map below.

Walk: Livingston's jaw-dropping waterfall

Image
West Lothian | Livingston | Short walk | ★★★

What springs to mind when someone mentions Livingston, West Lothian? Sprawling road junctions, retail parks, 1960s architecture... how about a splendid waterfall? Under a mile from the town's southernmost suburbs, the Camilty Water drops into a short but beautiful gorge sharply at odds with the gentleness of the surrounding farmland. Two substantial waterfalls and several smaller ones tumble into the depths; the largest is actually fed by a crumbling mill lade (the mill no longer exists) but this isn't obvious from below. The walk from the nearest road begins promisingly, but the last few hundred metres are a bit sketchy: stepping stones across a side burn, and a very slippery slope to reach the best viewpoint - more details below.
