The John o' Groats Trail

This is a another, perhaps more ambitious walk, which has 14 stages. 

Perhaps I could do half of the walk, beginning at Dunbeath?

The Formartine and Buchan Way

The two paths

This is another walk I might do in May. 

It`s just over 50 miles long and goes North from Dyce to Ellon and then splits in Maud, offering paths leading to Peterhead or to Fraserburgh.

I`m more likely to take the path to Fraserburgh. I can sleep in Ellon and in Maud. The stages aren`t then too long, and will take about 5 hours each.

The Fife Coastal Path

The Fife Coastal Path runs from Kinkardine to Newburgh, and is divided into eight sections, each taking a day. 

They are:

 Kinkardine to Limekilns (11 miles)

Limekilns to Burntisland (17 miles)

Burntisland to Buckhaven (14 miles)

Buckhaven to Elie (13 miles)

Elie to Cambo Sands (16 miles)

Cambo Sands to Leuchars (14 miles)

Leuchars to Wormit Bay (6 miles)

Wormit Bay to Newburgh (14 miles)

Thus, I might spend a week doing this between stays in Aberdeen, in May.

The advantage of this part of Scotland for walking is it rains far less there than in other places.
