📌 Kincardine, Fife
★★★
The gently undulating area of Scots Pine forest to the east of Kincardine provides a perfect habitat for red squirrels, while also concealing four pretty lochs of differing sizes where various wildfowl can be spotted. A network of tracks links the water bodies, but this circuit diverts onto narrower paths at times to add variety.
