Scottish National Trail
'Long distance walking route running the length of Scotland from Kirk Yetholm to Cape Wrath. Devised by outdoors writer and broadcaster Cameron McNeish, the Trail offers very varied walking, following long-established footpaths for much of the distance but becoming progressively more difficult as it heads north, finishing with a tough stretch of backpacking - with some pathless and demanding terrain - on the final stretch of the Cape Wrath Trail.'

'Scotland’s longest walking route, the 470-mile Gore-Tex Scottish National Trail, will be officially opened by the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond MSP, on October 30th at the Water of Leith Visitor Centre, Slateford, Edinburgh at 1pm. The trail forms Scotland’s first ever end-to-end walking route through Scotland, from Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders (the northern terminus of the Pennine Way) to Cape Wrath, the most north-western point on the British mainland, and has been compiled by author and broadcaster Cameron McNeish, who has also co-authored a book about the route called Scotland End to End. Gore-Tex Footwear based in West Lothian partnered with Cameron McNeish to sponsor the creation of the new walking route.' [Outdoor Enthusiast 9 October 2012]
