Susan began walking a few years ago to support her own health when she was looking after a family member. Health Walks are a supportive and welcoming way to start or continue your walking journey. Thank you to the volunteers who make them happen. walkingscotland.org.uk/get-involved...

Today marks #WorldCarFreeDay. Walking is one of the best ways to tackle the climate-nature emergency and support Scotland’s journey towards Net Zero. If more of us choose to walk, CO2 emissions, noise and air pollution from traffic would reduce.
