April 25, 2026, West Highland Way: Southern Section in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

Solid starting stage of the West Highland Way. Every day heading north, it becomes more "typically Scottish".

"I Remember" is a memorial walk through Pollok Country Park. There are 40 tree supports installed alongside the paths. The idea was to create a safe place for anyone affected by the pandemic to walk in nature and remember, reflect and hope for healing.
