Burns’ Trail – Ayrshire
The Scottish people are so proud of their national poet, Robert Burns, that they’ve turned the region where he grew up into “Burns Country.” He was born in Alloway, in Ayrshire, and there’s a great walk that starts in Alloway and takes you on a 12.5-mile path through the rambling countryside. The hike is circular, traveling around Newark Castle and along the hills overlooking the Firth of Clyde before leading back into town.
If you’re familiar with Burns’ poems, there are tons of places you’ll recognize as you pass, like the Brig o’ Doon.
