Love Scotland: Stories of Scotland's History and Nature

Into the hills: 25 years of the Footpath Fund


Listen Later

This week, Jackie is off to Glencoe to meet the National Trust for Scotland’s footpaths team – a hard-working group who protect hundreds of miles of paths across the country. In a year that also marks the 25 years of the Footpath Fund, which supports the team’s work, Jackie finds out what it takes to maintain the Trust’s path network.

Jackie discovers the challenges of rewards of a job that takes the team to some of Scotland’s highest peaks, their secrets to success, and the real world consequences of the paths they maintain.
