The Southern Upland Way - Anthony Burton
The 212 mile long southern Upland Way crosses Scotland, coast to coast, through rolling heather covered hills and wooded glens. This is the romantic landscape popularised by Sir Walter Scott and redolent with the great events of Scottish history, from the battles of William Wallace to the tragic massacres of the Covenanters. Here, indisputably, is some of the wildest, loneliest countryside to be enjoyed in the whole of Britain. This comprehensive, easy to use guide describes the entire route, is packed with useful information and is illustrated with photographs specially taken for this volume.
- Detailed descriptions, including points of interest, for each stage of the path.
- 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey maps specially prepared to accompany the text.
- Key sites numbered in the text and on the maps for easy identification.
- Full-colour photographs of the areas through which the route passes.
- Background information on local history, buildings and sites of interest, archaeology and wildlife.
- A reference section with details of public transport to and from the starting and finishing points of each section.
