What Temptation Hill looks like in autumn.

Close to the walled garden and directly above the Pictish Stone, a short, sharp climb brings you to the summit of Temptation Hill, which gives cracking views down towards a hidden beach, and across the Sound of Raasay to Skye.

The Moray Coast Trail runs 50 miles from Findhorn to Cullen, along a shore once named among the world's most beautiful by National Geographic.

This long-distance walk snakes along the shoreline from one end of the coast to the other, taking in cliffs, beaches, caves, coves and fishing villages on the way. It makes the perfect showcase for the Moray coast, with its pale sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and characterful little fishing villages. You can walk the whole trail, or simply pick a stretch for a day out with a flask. At its eastern end, Cullen makes a fine place to finish, a former royal burgh by the sea with a looming eight-arched viaduct.

The Edzell Blue Door Walk, in Angus, takes its name from the blue door you go in by, and leads above a gorge to a stretch called the Rocks of Solitude.

It is a popular, low-level circular route through woodland and countryside near the village of Edzell. Gentle paths run high above the gorge, with views of crashing water below, and the Rocks of Solitude make the perfect place for a quiet moment. The family at Newtonmill House, near Brechin, name them among the places to see to understand the natural beauty that has inspired generations in Angus. Back in the village, Edzell Castle is best known for its extraordinary walled garden, still cared for today.
