John Muir Way (3 ed)

The John Muir Way is one of Scotland's Great Trails. It runs for 134 miles (215 km) coast-to-coast across central Scotland, from Helensburgh on the Clyde to Dunbar on the North Sea. The route is as suitable for cyclists as for walkers, and it can be tackled as a coast-to-coast expedition or in sections - typically ten for walkers or five for cyclists. Our all-new 2023 third edition includes the latest route updates and features improved mapping with mileage markers along the route and a km grid. The mapping is at 1:75,000 and appears on 20 of its pages. It contains new material and despite having more pages is lighter and more pocketable than the previous edition thanks to perfect binding. It has many fresh photos and the new cover features the Antonine Wall from Bar Hill Fort. The John Muir Way's appeal ranges from the Charles Rennie Mackintosh architecture of Helensburgh through the scenic grandeur of Loch Lomond, along two famous canals and past the amazing Falkirk Wheel, beside the Roman Antonine Wall, passing Linlithgow Palace, Blackness Castle and the Forth Bridges to the capital glories of Edinburgh. It goes beside the Firth of Forth to reach North Berwick, then heads inland to finish at Dunbar with its ruined castle and the John Muir birthplace.
