Route maps
The John Muir Way is signed for walkers and cyclists in both directions but we strongly recommend that you also carry a map. We've provided free map downloads of each section here.
If you're thinking of bikepacking, gravel or mountain biking the route, visit the Bikepacking Scotland website where you'll find a version of the route that combines the walking and cycling routes, along with tips and gpx map downloads.
