    It wasn't on our itinerary but on our first day in Scotland driving around in circles on the wrong…read moreside of the road (sorry to all the old folk, children who had to run for their lives along the way) we noticed these huge wind turbines on the far horizon, first one, then two, then eight until we saw the whole farm - all 42 turbines! We had to see them up close so we zigged & zagged through the countryside until we got up close to them along Dura Road near Forth, some maps say South Cobbinshaw, either way it is in South Lanarkshire and you really can't miss 'em! Some sources say you can access them by Climpy Road too, we noticed going up Dura Road that there were a couple of spots to park with trails managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. One trail leads to the Darmead - Linn Covenanters Monument part of Scottish religious history / struggles, the trail takes you though some moors and you can hear the faint sound of "American Werewolf in London" if you get out of the car & listen carefully. Beware the moors! We chosed to just travel up the road by car until we hit the end of it right by the entrance of a small farm, along the way we saw tons of sheep & coos (Scots for cow), I couldn't believe how close we got to the turbines and how peaceful it was up on the law (Scots for hill) though breezy. Well worth a drive to see a reclaimed coal mine now serving a dual role as a wind farm & bird sanctuary with hiking trails. I should point out that the farm generates 97 MW of electricity or roughly enough power to provide for 70,000 homes from a clean renewable source.

    What a great hike! Easy enough and walkable from the majority of Edinburgh. You can take a few…read moredifferent paths to get to the summit. We took the one on the edge of the cliff and it was steep, so maybe avoid that one. There is one that takes a dirt path that is a little less steep to get up to Arthur's Seat. This summit provides a beautiful panoramic view of Edinburgh. Open 24/7, it's definitely worth a visit (maybe even more than once!)

    I have hiked Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, a few times and it's not for the faint of heart…read more But if you want a challenging workout with fantastic views of Edinburgh as your reward, this is for you! There are a few different ways to make your way up to the top. For first timers, I would suggest taking the route near Holyrood Palace which, while not easy, is more gentle than the route near Pollock Halls. My first time up, I took the latter and ended up climbing up boulders - which felt a bit precarious. No matter which way you go up, bring lots of water and wear shoes with good traction. You will definitely feel like you accomplished something when you reach the top. And, as I mentioned, the views are spectacular! At the summit, I always make a point to touch both the white triangulation pillar and the bronze geographical indicator. On our most recent trip, it was April so the weather was perfect! The previous time, we hiked it in August when it was a little too warm and we were greeted by swarms of midges at the top!
