📌 Ropes course in Aberfoyle, Stirling
★★★★
If you feel like “hanging around” Aberfoyle for a few hours and getting an adrenalin rush at the same time, perhaps it’s time to Go Ape! Go Ape has three ropes courses in Scotland, and this one stands out for its zip wires: including a final one that’s nearly half a kilometre long, high above a wooded glen complete with dramatic waterfall. We initially thought the price was a bit steep before discovering that the course was much longer than anticipated: 6 separate “zones” full of vertigo-inducing crossings (35 in total, according to the website), tarzan swings and vertical ladders. Great fun, and you can check it out beforehand with a wander underneath as part of a walk to Lime Craig.
