Andy McCandlish, photographer/mountain bike journalist
"It may sound corny, but Scotland to me is about freedom – the freedom to walk, ride, run, surf, paddle or paraglide where you like with no boundaries. We have a country that makes such freedom a real blessing. From the rugged west coast to the rolling east there are trails and mountains with a variety that few countries can match. And we can explore them all in whichever way we choose."
