It was out with the Midlothian Core Paths maps as we stayed local again yesterday. Disappointed beforehand not to be up the Highlands but had a fantastic walk, and you can see why!
Crichton Castle:

This route between Crichton and Borthwick castles was the way less travelled. No human prints in the snow, but rabbit, deer, squirrel, fox, and plenty birds...

Visiting the Highlands would be great, but the Lowlands scrub up not bad themselves, eh?
