The sizzling weather is back this weekend and while most of us will be out enjoying it, some may want to escape to the shade for a few hours of respite. This is especially important if you have young children or dogs and want to get out with them for a walk.
Thankfully, Scotland is home to plenty of amazing woodlands walks with plenty of shady areas that are cooler for a fun hour or two away from the sun.
Look out for wildlife such as red squirrels and deer or just enjoy the scenery with the ancient forests and beautiful waterfalls you'll discover along the way.
