Southern Upland  Walking in Scotland

Southern Upland Way
Situated on the route at the halfway point, Lochhouse Farm is 'Walker Friendly' and offers value for money comfortable accommodation. Individual walking agendas can be arranged with luggage transfer, pick up and drop off as well as laundry and drying facilities. Hot food and supplies can also be provided
The Southern Upland Way is Britain's first official coast to coast long distance footpath. It runs 212 miles (340 kms) from Portpatrick on the south-west coast of Scotland to Cockburnspath on the eastern seaboard.
It offers superb and varied walking country, still undiscovered by many enthusiasts. The Way provides a real challenge for the experienced walker, yet some of the shorter stretches are suitable for families and the less ambitious.
The Southern Uplands have been heavily sculpted and rounded by the effects of glaciation to leave a series of gently rolling hills with occasional rocky outcrops.For more information visit:
