April
Exploring at Loch Duich, Highlands

Adventurous April

The days are lengthening and there’s definite promise in the sun’s warmth. This is when maps are consulted, walking boots looked out and bikes checked over. There are so many places where it’s easy to experience Scotland’s countryside. Not far from the beautiful coastline of the Firth, the Moray Monster Bike Trails at Fochabers offer some challenging routes, though there are plenty of leisurely walking trails in Moray as well. Along the Moray Firth coast, we can also enjoy a wildlife adventure at sea. The excursions to see the famous dolphins start this month.
