Scotland is arguably at its most beautiful in autumn and it's a great time to get out and about into the countryside without the summer crowds.
Of couse there's always the Scottish weather to contend with, with the likelyhood of experiencing all four seasons in one day increasing with every passing week.
Having a great pub as a destination means that even if you end up soggy and cold there's guaranteed to be a roaring fire to dry out in front of, along with a warming drink.
The combination of pub and walk is perfect for a day out - particularly if you have a dog.
So we're looking at the best pubs that are at the end of some of Scotland's most beautiful walks, with a little help from camping and outdoor expert brand Khyam.
All these hostelries rank highly on Trip Advisor, are dog-friendly and have open fires in cold weather.
And they are all at the end of a magnificent walk, taking anything from 45 minutes to six hours to complete.
Here's where you should be walking - and resting - this autumn.
9. The Golspie Inn, Golspie
The short but very pretty Big Burn Golspie walk starts and ends in the Sutherland village. Expect it to take around 45 minutes, after which you can enjoy the delights of the Golspie Inn. | Google Maps
10. The Mishnish, Tobermory
Located in a prime position on the seafront of colourful Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, The Mishmish serves stunning seafood alongside a range of drinks. It's a great place to stop after completing the two hour Aros Park and Tobermory Circuit walk. | Google Maps
11. The Clachaig Inn, Ballachulish
The moderate walk from Glencoe to the Clachaig Inn, in Ballachulish, takes around three hours. On your arrival you'll find a roaring log fire on cold days and an equally warm welcome from the friendly staff. | Google Maps
