Journey through Scotland's history

Travel across Scotland and discover its story, from ancient Roman forts to Jacobite battlegrounds; medieval castles to industrial breakthroughs.

Try a hill walk

Along the Way you'll have lots of opportunities to get up high and admire the views over Loch Lomond, the Campsie Fells and the Firth of Forth.

Take it one step at a time!

It's a coast to coast route but you don't need to do the whole 134 miles in one go! Explore the ten sections to pick them off one at a time.

Explore the city

Edinburgh is a beautiful city, with many hidden treasures. The Way uses its park, riverside & canal path network. Why not take a detour along the Royal Mile or Water of Leith to explore?

Canal capers

You can spend hours enjoying fishing the canals along the Way. Contact Scottish Canals for details.
