I am recommending the lovely Armadale Hill and woodland 5.5 km hike (2 hours) behind the Castle grounds. From the hill top you can see the inner isles and the Cuillin ridge. The loch to your lower left is an old Viking Harbour. The walk up gives panoramic views to the mainland. Depending on the time of day you may encounter deer, a heron, owls, an otter. in the summer it's great for butterflies and beetles as the different habitats you walk through in quick succession - woodland, meadow, moorland provide precise demarcation for different varietie/ species. You can park in an unsigned but well used wooded layby next to a sharp bend in the A851 known locally as Mill Bridge; then walk left and cross the road to walk up a steepish woodland farm track. At the top the track veers to the left. Follow this flat section and enjoy the extraordinary views. Go through two more gates. Then follow the path round a derelict farm building to continue up the hill. Go through another forestry gate and onwards. suitable in all weathers and for children but keep dogs on a leash as there are lots of sheep. You can also park at Armadale carpark and walk briefly along the main road past the Castle restaurant building, taking the first tarmac road on the right signposted Armadale lodges. Walk up the road, following it round to the right till you come to the afore mentioned derelict farm building where you join the final uphill track. Another option is to pay to visit Armadale Castle Gardens and access the hill from their grounds.The app won't let me post a photograph of the walk. There are two ways
