The health risks are stark – seven Scots die every day due to inactivity, often long before they have to. That is seven too many.</p> <p>“This is the year to get Scots more active, and embrace the truly beautiful walking routes we have available to us.”</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://news.scotland.gov.uk/News/Let-s-Get-Scotland-Walking-d96.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://news.scotland.gov.uk/News/Let-s-Get-Scotland-Walking-d96.aspx</a> </p>
