The Association of Northern Trails Scotland (ANTS) champion long distance walking and hiking in the far north of Scotland, chiefly through the development, maintenance, and promotion of the John o’ Groats Trail (JOGT) and the North Coast Trail (NCT) and are starting to develop other walking trails and paths in the Far North. We take a practical approach: solve the problem, build the solution. We connect communities, promote health and wellness, and improve access to our natural landscapes. Our organisation is committed to fostering a love for the outdoors and ensuring access to trails for all! We are also committed to an open-minded approach to recruitment: If you think helping to develop (build) a long distance trail is something you’d love to do, please get in touch. We are happy to chat pre-application.
