Hiking

John Muir Way. Completed in 2014, this much-praised scenic hiking path stretches from Helensburgh, northwest of Glasgow, to Dunbar. The trail's terminus is outside John Muir's birthplace, on the town's High Street. The 130-mile coast-to-coast route passes through some spectacular scenery (especially at the Helensburgh end). It takes about a week to traverse completely, but the official website has maps covering all the various sections.
