The John Muir Way is one of Scotland’s Great Trails. It runs for 134 miles (216 km) coast-to-coast across central Scotland, from Helensburgh on the Clyde to Dunbar on the North Sea. The route is as suitable for cyclists as for walkers, and it can be tackled as a coast-to-coast expedition or in sections – typically ten days for walkers and up to five for cyclists.
The John Muir Way’s appeal ranges from the Charles Rennie Mackintosh architecture of Helensburgh through the scenic grandeur of Loch Lomond, along two famous canals and past the amazing Falkirk Wheel, beside the Roman Antonine Wall, passing Linlithgow Palace, Blackness Castle and the Forth Bridges to the capital glories of Edinburgh. It goes beside the Firth of Forth to reach North Berwick, then heads inland to finish at Dunbar with its ruined castle and the John Muir birthplace. The book devotes 3 pages to Muir’s life and pioneering work; if you are interested in the issue of his alleged racism, please read our blog post.
The third edition includes 4 more pages (Reference material with checklists, passport scheme and bikepacking advice) and many fresh photos and a couple of route updates. The mapping has been improved with mileage markers and a km grid. Despite more pages, it weighs over 50 grams less than its predecessor, and is more easily pocketable.
This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday on a bike or on foot:
- background on John Muir's life, the canal heritage and wildlife
- detailed description of the route from west to east
- summary of each section showing distance, terrain and food/drink stops

- planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane
- detailed mapping of the John Muir Way on 22 pages at 1:75,000
- in full colour, with 105 photographs
- further route options, diversions and an unofficial shortcut
- rainproof paper throughout.
