We subscribe to a few magazines and thought you might be interested to know what we like.  In our view these are great reads and well worth checking out.

Scotland Outdoors

Scotland Outdoors highlights the very best of Scotland’s natural diversity from its dramatic coastline to the high tops of its iconic peaks. From north to south and across the many islands that decorate its fringes, Scotland’s landscape is both alluring and challenging. Scotland Outdoors want to help you explore it.  

Of course, it is important to recognise that their actions have consequences and so they understand the need to tread lightly. They don’t want to preach – after all, none of us are perfect – but their emphasis will always be on sustainable, low-impact use of wild places.
