We usually just walk about where we live, but for a change of scenery and doggie smells we go to Dunbeath Strath or if we are heading to Inverness it has to be the Big Burn walk at Golspie. It was closed last time we passed after the high winds knocked trees down though. Dunnet forest is good too, Newton hill was a bit mucky last time we were up so haven't bothered with it much lately. Really wish other dog owners would pick up and stop giving the rest of us a bad name :roll:
We just walk Benjy near to home so either go down the road at Sandend, Reiss and carry on towards Ackergill Tower. It is lovely as you can enjoy the fresh air and watch the seabirds without getting all covered in sand!
The other is down a country road to the Strath at Sibster.
Mind you all these roads are so mucky just now that we have to go a walk just down the road from us. Can't even do that just now as we will get blown away!!!:(
Roll on Summer!!!
Broubster Forest is good, no worries about traffic or other people, been loads of times and hardly ever meet anyone else and the dogs are free to run around off the lead, just watch out for them drowning in the puddles!

i just walk my 3 near where i live. its great, no need for leads and hardly any traffic on the single track road. also like driving up the hill in the land rover and they run behind.
out towards Shebster and then go down the Brabsterdorran road - goes for miles and comes out somewhere the back of Reay i think!Quote:

looking for a few walks suitable for taking the pram as well please.
more info on the olrig one please as thats my end of the county.
love the photos too! they look well happy doggies!
My dawgs favorite blast is along Castletown / Dunnet beach. They just can't get enough of the sand dunes, just run up and down, really good exercise for them and me!:)
We love taking our dogs to Melvich or Strathy Beach. There is another walk if I want to go out for several hours along Strath Halladale
I like camore woods in dornoch or ferrycroft at lairg or ravens rock at rosehall. theres a giant wood carving of a grizzly bear there.
