The Writers' Museum

City of Edinburgh | Old Town | Museum | ★★

[The Writers' Museum]

Scores of attractions compete for the attention of visitors along Scotland's most touristy street: the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town. Lost among the bigger sights is an old, small sign pointing down an old close to The Writers' Museum: unusually for this part of town, it's free to visit and rarely crowded. The smallish museum is devoted to three famous Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. In truth, the exhibits are only of moderate interest, but worth a brief visit nevertheless. And the building they're housed in is interesting too: Lady Stair's House is a well-kept, 17th century townhouse just off a hideaway courtyard.

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.

Hut of the Shadows

Image
North Uist | Lochmaddy | Camera Obscura | ★★

This quirky little art installation lies just across a rocky strait from the north side of Lochmaddy village. Inside a turf-roofed, stone-walled hut next to the shoreline is a camera obscura: a simple, pinhole camera designed to project the sea view onto the back wall of the hut. The easiest way of reaching the building is unusual too; access is by a rickety suspension bridge which may or may not be completely safe (check local signage) and stone causeways across the tidal channel. Highly recommended if you're spending any time around Lochmaddy.

Anything else? Limited space to park at G.R.: NF 921692 ///slot.thing.tucked (don't block access). From here it's a 5-min walk north to the hut on a reasonable path with some boggy patches. Access involves crossing a suspension bridge, with a…

Walk: Island clearances on South Uist's Beinn Mhor

Image
South Uist | Tobha Mòr | Full day walk | ★★★

Beinn Mhòr is the highest summit on the Uists, and part of a rugged group of hills running down the eastern side of South Uist. Rough, pathless terrain belies the hill's relatively low height, with fearsome bog defending against marauding walkers from the road to the west. Successfully tackle all this and the reward is a wonderful north ridge: narrow enough to be exhilarating, yet with no scrambling involved (unless you go looking for it), and no chance of crowds. The second highest summit on the island - Hecla - is included in this circuit, as well as the lower summit of Beinn Coradail which sits in between. The three separate summits result in well over 1,000 metres of ascent, and you'll feel every single metre of it on the tussocky grass, bog and boulders. Potentially superb summit views were affected by pesky hill fog when we visited, but we've left a long photo roll below to give an idea of the typical terrain. Good luck!
