20. John Muir Way

A long distance path starting on the east coast in Dunbar, the birthplace of John Muir, running through the Central Belt of Scotland to Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde in the West.

This famed coast-to-coast walking and cycling path spans central Scotland,
linking Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde with John Muir’s birthplace of Dunbar on the Firth of Forth.
One of Scotland’s Great Trails, the route encapsulates the deep love that Muir, the writer, explorer and a
conservationist who founded the US National Park system, had for the great outdoors.
Tackle it in one 134 mile ( 216 km ) odyssey - or split it up into shorter sections
as you take in beaches and coastline, castles, lochs, hills, woodlands, old railway lines, canal
towpaths, Roman forts, the Antonine Wall and nature-packed habitats.

This challenging-yet-rewarding 65-mile ( 105 km ) circular route showcases the
best of Arran’s rugged coastal charms with a smattering of history thrown in.

depending on your fitness level, climbing to the summit of Goatfell ( 2,867ft / 874m ).
Sannox to Lochranza ( 9 miles / 14.5 km ), meanwhile, is often hailed as a favourite section by walkers keen to
spot marine life such as dolphins and basking sharks.
Further along the route, Whiting Bay to Lamlash ( 6 miles / 10 km ) takes in Glenashdale Falls, as well as passing
a Viking grave and Iron Age hill fort.
