Groundhopping in the prettier parts of Scotland Can't Post or Reply Privately
I am planning a walking weekend in Scotland and would like it to meet the following criteria

· Must be accessible by public transport
· Must have stunning scenery
· Must have decent local amenities / place to stay
· Must have a football club nearby (ideally an SFL or Junior League club)

Any suggestions warmly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You say that, and I'll grant you that the scenery is fantastic there, but the view of the football there isn't... and the matches there are often thoroughly uncompetitive...

I personally much prefer Rothes from that front... also very useful for the whisky trail too...

And that's the only time you'll ever see "Cowdenbeath" and "stunning scenery" in close proximity

And of course in Fife, you've got that gloriously scenic town of Methil...



Proud spectator of real football.

Hop, hop, hopping on heaven's door

Cowdenbeath has many attractions as the pictures in this link prove.

The corner shop turret is particularly worth a detour.

A big hand to the journalists who managed to find enough to fill that screen. For some unknown reason, my mind drifted to Fun Land on Craggy Island, and it's peculiar attractions.
