Scotland's Snowdrops 2024: These are 10 of the best snowdrop walks in Scotland to enjoy this February

They’re the first welcome sign that the winter is finally coming to an end - and this month is the best time to see them.

The snowdrop, or Galanthus to give them their scientific name, is one of the few plants to flower during winter or, at the very latest, in early spring.

There are around 20 different species of snowdrop, including hundreds of varieties – the Cambo Estate, in Fife, is home to over 350 of them – each with subtly different leaves, petals and colouration.

Scotland is a great place to see snowdrops in all their glory, when thousands of the tiny flowers often create dramatic carpets of white and green.

Here are 10 places to visit where you can be sure of a great display.
