With a drought in holidays for everyone, and continued growth in people looking to rediscover the outdoor s, a new study has found the best countries in the world for a hiking holiday – and of course, Scotland made it into the top 10.
The study, conducted by SportsShoes.com, analysed Google searches for over 500 hiking routes, along with walking and hiking holidays in over 100 countries, before combining this with the number of Instagram hashtags for each, to create an index that unveils the best destinations for a hiking adventure.
Scotland is only beaten by Spain, which came out on top with a staggering 170,830 annual searches and 3,100 hashtags associated with a hiking adventure, Japan and England.
