Welcome to Little Scotland

Little Scotland is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. The village is situated near the town of Blackburn and is known for its beautiful countryside and historic landmarks. The village is named after the Scottish miners who came to work in the local coal mines during the 19th century. Today, Little Scotland is a peaceful and picturesque village that attracts visitors from all over the world.

One of the most popular attractions in Little Scotland is the St. Aidan's Church. The church was built in the 19th century and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and intricate architecture. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Another popular landmark in the village is the Little Scotland Colliery. The colliery was once a thriving coal mine that employed hundreds of workers. Today, the colliery is a museum that tells the story of the village's mining history.

Little Scotland is also known for its beautiful countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the countryside or go for a bike ride along one of the many scenic routes. The village is also home to several parks and nature reserves, including the Witton Country Park and the Pleasington Nature Reserve.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken. Hyning Rd Lancashire 6.91 miles
