The Southern Upland Way is a {{convert|338|km|mi|adj=on}} long distance coast-to-coast trail in southern Scotland. The route links Portpatrick in the west and Cockburnspath in the east via the hills of the Southern Uplands.[1][2][3] It opened in 1984, and was the UK’s first officially recognised coast-to-coast long-distance route.[6] The Way is designated as one of Scotland's Great Trails by Scottish Natural Heritage, and is the longest of the 29 Great Trails.[1] The Southern Upland Way meets with seven of the other Great Trails: the Annandale Way, the Berwickshire Coastal Path, the Borders Abbeys Way, the Cross Borders Drove Road, the Mull of Galloway Trail, the Romans and Reivers Route and St Cuthbert's Way.[4]

The path is maintained by the local authorities of the two main council areas through which it passes: Dumfries and Galloway Council and Scottish Borders Council;[5] a short section in the Lowther Hills lies in South Lanarkshire.[6] It is primarily intended for walkers, but many sections are suitable for mountain bikers;[7] some sections are also suitable for horseriders.[8] About 80,000 people use the path every year, of whom about 1,000 complete the entire route.[9]

The Southern Upland Way forms part of the E2 European long-distance path, which runs for {{convert|4850|km|disp=flip}} from Galway to Nice.[10]

The route

The path visits Castle Kennedy, New Luce, Bargrennan, St John's Town of Dalry, Sanquhar, Wanlockhead, Beattock, St Mary's Loch, Traquair, Galashiels, Lauder, Abbey St Bathans, and Longformacus en route. The Sir Walter Scott Way shares the last five places with the Southern Upland Way. The Annandale Way[11] running through Annandale from the source of the River Annan to the sea joins the Southern Upland Way briefly at Beattock.[12]
