Calling all thrill-seekers! Scotland's most adrenaline-enducing experiences
What's the most exciting activity that you can try in Scotland? Where can you get the best thrills?
I think canyoning is next on my bucket list!
In the
Adrenaline Junkies Guide to Scotland you might find something you never even knew existed (human catapult, anyone?)
Have you tried any exciting outdoor activities in Scotland which has given you butterflies in your tummy and a 'can I really do it!?' moment?

We also did rafting on the River Garry near Fort William with a company Vertical Descents, which was fantastic, even though I did fall in!
1) Mountain biking in the Mabie Forest in Dumfries and Galloway - I hadn't really done much off-road mountain biking so decided to take the easy route! It was so much fun,but be prepared to get muddy!! It's also one of the 7stanes mountain biking centres!
2) Climbing at the Glasgow Climbing Centre - This climbing centre is in an old church and the first time I climbed up the wall to the top I was terrified when I looked back down to where I started! You don't need to be an expert climber and it's really good fun!
3) Go Ape! in Aberfoyle - this tree top adventure really gets your heart beating! Starting off with a zip slide across a waterfall, the course is full of wobbly bridges, moving obstacles and some quite scary jumps but with a bit of courage you can make it to the end!! There are also some 'chicken runs' if you don't feel brave enough to do the Tarzan Jump (like myself)!
The Segway Safari at Loch Lomond was also an amazing experience! I would love to try land yachting and zorbing! Has anyone tried these activities?
A great discussion thread !
I've tried quite a few - land yachting, gliding, abseiling down the In Pin, ice climbing - all of which I'd heartily recommend if you're not a big feartie.
Bungy jumping at Killiecrankie also got my heart racing but now my niece (who bungied with me) has got her own back and given me a voucher for a night-time bungy at Killiecrankie - apparently the only place in Europe you can do this. I do like thrills but this is getting pretty much to the edge of my comfort zone !!
