We'd love to see where you got to. 👇

Just to take the WHW as an example, it's worth £30mil a year to the economy, introduces many first time visitors to Scotland who return but is left to deteriorate dreadfully in parts. Lauded internationally what they must think of us on encountering those first miles up to Gartness.
It was a real pleasure yesterday to lead MSPs and Holyrood staff from across party lines on a lunchtime stroll in Edinburgh, alongside our president Chris Lawlor.
A great chance to showcase the work of our charity and volunteers, and for MSPs to enjoy the nation’s top hobby…. walking! 🚶

We joined a big crowd braving the rain at ScotLINK's Stand Up for Nature demo at Holyrood yesterday, alongside dozens of campaigning charities.
A chance to show MSPs just how much nature matters to Scotland’s people.
We'll keep reminding politicians: access to nature is right, not a luxury!
👇🏻 Liam's right; bits of the WHW desperately need some TLC.
It's shocking that even Scotland's official long-distance trails lack dedicated funding.
World-class rights. 3rd-rate funding.
We want a Scottish Paths Fund; an idea which recently featured in both the SNP and Scottish Greens manifestos.
