Scotland End to End
Synopsis: Wandering through some of the most magnificent landscapes in Europe the 470-mile Gore-Tex Scottish National Trail follows many of Scotland’s existing trails and rights of way and in doing so creates a long-distance walking route that compares with the best in the world. The Gore-Tex Scottish National Trail not only connects some of our finest landscapes into one long end-to-end journey but it also reminds us of the history of those landscapes, a history that has recorded the plundering raids and battles of the Borderlands; the growth of industrialization in the Central Belt; and the march of armies, saints, drovers, thieves, and vagabonds through these wild lands that have since been emptied of people. Today only the whispers remain, along with the call of the curlew and the song of the skylark.
