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.

I walk my longest day on the Southern Upland Way, covering approximately 20 miles between Minch Moor and Lauder. The original plan was to finish near Melrose but couldn't find a suitable place for wild camping so I kept walking until late. I stopped for supplies at Tesco while passing through Galashiels.

Next Section: Lauder to Watch Water Reservoir/Longformacus.
