Walkhighlands is Scotland’s leading website for walkers. However many of our users (50%) live in England and Wales.

GPS-using walkers can now attach the tracklogs of their walks in GPX format to their reports – if they do this, other users will see your route marked on a map in your post, and will be able to download it too.
