[Walled Garden at Geilston Garden]

Geilston Garden dates back over 200 years, lying at the end of an avenue of limes on the Clyde coast a few miles west of Dumbarton. The garden splits into several varied parts: an interesting kitchen garden, orchard, slightly nondescript paddock, wooded burn (bluebells in May) and - the highlight - a very colourful walled garden. These all fan out from the (private) Geilston House: owned by a succession of wealthy merchant families until 1998, when it was taken into the care of the National Trust for Scotland. A pleasant diversion for an hour or two on a summer's day.

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.

Walk: Holborn Head a-Hoy!

Image
Highland | Scrabster | Half day walk | ★★★★

You'll probably hope the scenery's going to get better as you leave decidedly functional Scrabster. Not that that's hard, and fortunately all seems right with the world again as you pass the little lighthouse at the port's northern end, and sheep soon outnumber ships once more. 3 miles of excellent coastal scenery starts here, with numerous stacks, arches, high cliffs and layered rock formations looking like place mats stacked on top of each other. Orkney is also well seen from here, including the famous Old Man of Hoy sea stack. Don't forget to watch your feet as well - uneven surfaces and big drops mean a slip here could be very bad news. Plus those random blowholes just waiting to swallow you up...

Dundonald Castle

Image
South Ayrshire | Dundonald | Castle | ★★★

This brutal block of a castle dominates Dundonald's skyline. Exuding power even as a ruin, it's difficult to imagine it was ever a particularly comfortable place to stay. Nevertheless, Robert II lived here until his death in 1390. The Laigh Hall is the most impressive part, but don't miss the vertical extremities of the castle - the Great Hall, now open to the elements, and the pit prison, accessed by a vertical ladder from above.
