John Buchan Way

The John Buchan Way is a walking route from Peebles to Broughton in the Scottish Borders, a distance of approximately 22 km (13 miles).

For those wishing a longer walk the path passes Stobo Kirk following the Easton Burn and later crossing it on a bridge.

Eventually the highest point of the walk is reached above Stobo Hopehead, surely one of the most remote houses in the Scottish Borders, 6 km (4 miles) up a track from the road.

A detailed description of the route and a map can be downloaded from the Scottish Borders Council website.

These include: Stobo Kirk, The forts on Cademuir Hill, John Buchan Centre, Neidpath Castle, Broughton Gallery and Dawyck Botanic Garden.
