Southern Upland Way - Watch Water Reservoir to Cocksburnpath

The Southern Upland Way is Scotland's first and only official coast-to-coast long distance route, running across the country from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea. From Portpatrick on the west coast the route runs 341 kilometres to Cove and Cockburnspath on the east coast.

Date walked: 12/05/2017
Time taken: 14 hours
Distance: 45 km
Ascent: 574m



I walked the last 20 miles to Cocksburnpath and finally completed the Southern Upland Way, spending the final night camping on the edge of a Graveyard.
The following day I had to walk an extra 10 miles along the coast to reach Dunbar (John Muir link) where I could catch a train to Edinburgh.
