Trip Description: Walk the John Muir Way across central Scotland with Gale, as she journeys from Helensburgh on the west coast to Dunbar – Muir’s birthplace – on the North Sea. This 134-mile walk not only traverses volcanic fields, windswept beaches, and foxglove-laden forests, it beckons curious walkers to explore the Antonine Wall (built by Romans in 142 AD), the Falkirk Wheel (the world’s only rotating boat lift), and The Kelpies (mythical shape-shifting water-horse spirits).
Scottish Oatcakes and Lemon Curds will be served.
Please carpool as there is limited parking at the Durham Public Library.
