Hillwalking
Make hillwalking one of the things encouraged post lock down.
It's possible by traveling in private car to the hills with you family or alone and involves minimal contact with other people.

Why the contribution is important
The physical and mental health benefits from hillwalking are massive. The sense of freedom in the hills is unmeasurable and totally different to what you feel walking the parks or pavements having to constantly dodge other humans. On most hills you will see no one meaning you can properly relax and just enjoy being outside whilst also staying fit and healthy.
Social distancing is a non issue as most hillwalks can be achieved in such a way that no one need come within many many metres of others let alone 2m.

The only possible risk is associated travel, particularly public transport.
Therefore suggest hillwalking be allowed within your local area, thus minimising unnecessary travel. Everywhere has hills in Scotland!
