Loch Coille Bharr Forest dog walk, Scotland
The Knapdale forest is huge and this is the dog walk that dogs would choose for sure. You'll find far fewer people and a much wilder environment than the other car parks here.

You'll find several sandy beaches just down from the Seaboard Centre and these are dog-friendly. When we were here there was no-one in sight, in mid-summer.
A tourist attraction for centuries and it's easy to see why. The gorge is astonishing and worth a visit.
The dog walk here is a real hidden gem. And the geological features are interesting for curious people too. Not too far from the A9 heading north and well worth an explore.
A pebble beach with no dog restrictions. It's a popular place for fishing so watch out for live bait and lines. The beach slopes down quickly so dogs and kids need close supervision.
A pretty dog-friendly cafe and deli sheltering under the ruins of a historic castle. Easy to spot from the A75 and a very pleasant place to stop for a coffee and driving break
A big sandy and dog-friendly beach here. Good for swimming and water games with the dog. Don't miss a trip to the historic fish pool, it's extraordinary.
Dogs are welcome to visit this unusual circular castle on the Isle of Bute.
A quiet and tranquil dog-walking spot with few visitors and a choice of car parks. It's a few miles off the A708 and quieter than the watersports loch nearby.
Dogs will really enjoy this woodland spot with a babbling brook at the start for happy splashing. It's quiet and free of sheep.
This castle has a truly gruesome reputation and stories of ghosts, murders and black magic are many and varied. Dogs are welcome to visit and ours showed no sign of supernatural sniffs.
Family-run hotel with a marvellous welcome for visiting dogs. Our two collies were charmed by huge water bowls and the resident puppy.
