ROUTE SUMMARY TABLE

Previous editions of this book have given the Southern Upland Way 341km (212 miles). The slight increase here reflects greater accuracy using GPS data. The Southern Upland Way hasn’t been extended – in fact, recent improvements have taken 0.5km off it!

With the closure of the Tibbie Shiels Inn, it’s not always possible to create day stages of a comfortable distance based around current accommodation options. This chart, and this new edition, show the Way broken down into 14 day stages of comfortable length, as used by commercial pick-up and drop-off services. Note that not all day stage ends have accommodation or facilities. Please refer to the Itinerary planner (Appendix A) for details of where you can find accommodation along the SUW (as well as the distances between intermediate points).
