Scotland's best 'whimsical fairy walks' for family day out this summer named
The country's top fairy trails have been crowned. Scotland's top "whimsical fairy walks" for a family day out this summer have been named. The list was put together by experts at VisitScotland. With June almost over and the middle of summer on the horizon, now is a great time to head out on a family walk. For those who are looking for something to do with their little ones, Scotland is home to numerous fairy walks. VisitScotland shared a roundup of "whimsical fairy walks to explore in Scotland". A total of 11 trails and gardens across the country are featured on the list. One Scottish fairy walk singled out by the experts is Ardkinglas Woodland Garden near the hamlet of Cairndow in Argyll. The garden is known for its popular Gruffalo and Fairy trails. The Gruffalo trail at Ardkinglas Woodland Garden uses boards that show extracts from the Scots version of the famous book to link the story to the surroundings. The 400-metre-long walk features sculptures of characters Mouse and Gruffalo and features recognisable landmarks from the book such as Tod's den, Hoolet's home, and Snake's logpile house. Meanwhile, the garden's Fairy trail is situated in the lower part of the woodlands. It includes a number of specially designed fairy houses for little ones to discover. VisitScotland praised Ardkinglas Woodland Garden for its "atmospheric woodland" and "cathedral-like canopy of soaring trees". The experts also described the attraction as "spellbinding" for both children and adults. A second "whimsical" walk in Scotland named by VisitScotland is The Secret Forest at Kelburn Estate. The estate, which is most well-known for its colourful castle, is home to the Secret Forest. The Secret Forest is comprised of a labyrinthine trail through the estate's surrounding woodlands. It includes houses for giants, swamps for crocodiles, and even a 35-feet-high Pagoda. Elsewhere, VisitScotland also singled out the Loch Lomond Faerie Trail. Located in the village of Luss along the western shore of Loch Lomond, the trail offers a "delightful adventure through our enchanting woodlands" according to its website. The Loch Lomond Faerie Trail features fairy houses, sparkly wings, and "magical" mushrooms. All tickets also include a visit to Faerie Tale Farm, which is home to animals such as Highland Cows, donkeys, goats, and sheep. Another fairy walk named among the most "whimsical" in Scotland is The Bubbling Toad in Gorebridge. Situated just outside of Edinburgh, the attraction features a 'Hollow' filled with scrolls and hanging charms and an area for 'potion-making'. VisitScotland stated: "Scotland's fairy trails and magical walks are perfect for all ages. From castle grounds to city parks, these family-friendly routes will enchant you with awe-inspiring landscapes that feel lifted from a fantasy tale. "Whether you're exploring with little ones or seeking an imaginative escape, these trails promise magic at every turn."

9 K-dramas with shocking plot twists fans never saw coming
2. 'Mouse' Above Is Lee Seung-gi an innocent police officer or a serial killer? (Photo: tvN) This K-drama kept fans on their toes, trying to keep up with the countless plot twists and figure out who the real killer is. Is police officer Jeong Ba-reum (Lee Seung-gi) as innocent as he seems? Is Sung Yo-han (Kwon Hwa-woon) a serial killer like his infamous father, Han Seo-joon (Ahn Jae-wook)? An identity swap experiment and a brain transplant further complicate the story and leave audiences guessing about who the real killer is until the very end. See also: 12 K-dramas where the leading lady does all the saving 3. 'Flower of Evil' Above Lee Joon-gi has a hidden identity in 'Flower of Evil'. (Photo: tvN) The premise of the drama is tailor-made for plot twists: Cha Ji-won (Moon Chae-won) is a homicide detective married to Baek Hee-sung (Lee Joon-gi), a timid, loving and devoted husband and father. But Baek Hee-sung is living under a stolen identity and hiding a dark, violent past. Throughout the drama, viewers are left in suspense, questioning whether he's a reformed man or a cold-blooded killer. The search for the truth leads to a locked basement, where shocking revelations about his past—and the real Baek Hee-sung—change everything. 4. 'Lovely Runner' Above He fell first and fell harder. (Photo: tvN) Not all K-dramas with a shocking plot twist are thrillers. Lovely Runner , a romantic comedy time-slip drama, packs a sweet and swoon-worthy surprise. While Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) spends much of the series travelling back in time to try and save Ryu Sun-jae (Byeon Woo-seok) from his tragic fate, audiences learn that it's actually Sun-jae who fell in love first and fell harder, long before she ever travelled back in time. Don't miss: Romantic K-drama male leads who were created by female screenwriters 5. 'When the Phone Rings' Above You can expect plenty of plot twists when the phone rings. (Photo: MBC) There's no shortage of jaw-dropping reveals in When the Phone Rings , a mystery romance that kept audiences guessing until the very end. Early on, viewers discover that Baek Sa-eon (Yoo Yeon-seok) was the one who arranged his marriage to his wife, Hong Hee-joo (Chae Soo-bin). Later on, they learn Hee-joo's selective mutism is just a ruse her mother came up with to save her skin. And when the kidnapper is finally unmasked, it's the identity of his accomplice that truly shocks fans of the drama. 6. 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' Above Someone has been hiding in plain sight in 'It's Okay to Not be Okay'. (Photo: tvN) Pulsing steadily beneath the surface of this healing gothic romance is a psychological thriller that ties together Ko Moon-yeong's (Seo Yea-ji) tragic family history and the Moon brothers' (Kim Soo-hyun and Oh Jung-se) traumatic past. Audiences were stunned to discover that Moon-yeong's abusive and mentally unhinged mother is not only alive and hiding in plain sight, but also the one responsible for the murder of the Moons' mother.

(Photo: tvN) In this K-drama starring Song Joong-ki as Vincenzo, an Italian mafia consigliere who returns to South Korea in search of hidden gold, the big plot twist isn't so much a heel turn as it is a heel reveal. Although a key character's death early in the series delivers a gut punch, the real shocker is the revelation that a Zumba-loving attorney and a bumbling and seemingly harmless law firm intern are ruthless criminal masterminds. Later, the death of a redeemed fan-favourite character delivers yet another emotional blow fans didn't see coming. 8. 'The Light Shop' Above Prepare yourself for the most heartbreaking plot twist. (Photo: IMDb) There are plenty of plot twists in this supernatural K-drama—from the fate of couple Yoon Sun-hae (Kim Min-ha) and Park Hye-won (Kim Sun-hwa), who choose to make their home in the place in between life and death, to Lee Ji-young's (Seol Hyun) haunting pursuit of Kim Hyun-min (Um Tae-goo), the man she cannot bring herself to let go of. But perhaps the most surprising and heartbreaking of them all is the tragic backstory of Jung Won-young (Ju Ji-hoon), the mysterious light shop keeper, and his hidden connection to mother-and-daughter duo Jung Yoo-hee (Lee Jung-eun) and Joo Hyun-ju (Shin Eun-soo). See also: 10 anticipated K-drama Season 2 releases you shouldn't miss 9. 'Heavenly Ever After' Above There are plot twists even in Heaven. (Photo: JTBC) In the K-drama set in Heaven, the appearance of Som I, a young woman with unknown ties to Lee Hae-sook's (Kim Hye-ja) husband Ko Nak-joon (Son Suk-ku), throws everyone for a loop, especially when it's implied that there's a romantic connection between the two. But audiences later learn that Som I is not a separate person but the manifestation of Hae-sook's grief and guilt over the son they lost, which leads to another emotional bombshell: the kindly pastor who befriends Hae-sook turns out to have a much deeper connection to her than she ever imagined.
