LET’S be honest, John Muir would probably have hated the John Muir Way. The long distance walking trail set up in his honour is surely too flat for a man happiest on a hill, who once declared, “the mountains are calling and I must go”. While Covid-19 may prevent us from hopping across the Atlantic to enjoy the national parks he set up, Muir’s legacy here is a nonetheless spectacular trail that handily ripples across Central Scotland, accessible to many Scots even in lockdown, that more than justifies its official recognition as one of Scotland’s Great Trails.

A man who breached lockdown rules by travelling from England to camp on Loch Lomond had to be rescued when he got stuck on an island. The man, who had been camping on the west side of Inchtavannach, had come to Scotland to spend the Easter weekend. However, after becoming stuck on the island when his kayak paddle went missing, he called Police Scotland so that he could get back to his car which was parked in the nearby hamlet Aldochlay. Loch Lomond Rescue Boat were paged just before 2pm on Tuesday, and went to the man s aid. It comes as Scotland s Stay at Home rule was replaced by a Stay Local message from April 2, meaning travel regulations within mainland Scotland have eased slightly.
