Does anyone have a good policy background or understanding of why Scotland has no aerial firefighting capability and relies purely on arrangements with private helicopter operators?

Hi all,

I’m looking for some inspiration. What’s your favourite hike or walk that’s within about an hour and a half of Edinburgh?

I’m not necessarily looking for the toughest or most popular route—just the one that, purely based on scenery, stands out as the most beautiful. Bonus points if it feels really unique or different from the typical Scottish landscapes.

I’d love to hear your recommendations and why you think they’re so special!

Thanks!
