- I’d finally got round to walking the remainder of the Southern Upland Way after completing half of the trail in 1992.
Join Brora and I as we attempt to finish the rest of the trail.

Brilliant! Often walk this route. Never fails to please. Well done doing it with that pack.
Thanks Jennifer. 👍
Heyup😊. Brora's permanently wagging tail happy dog just lights me up every time! Never gets old..
Thanks for another relaxing watch though tbf we would be all in even if there was just audio. Great stuff🫡👏👍🏼
Aww, thanks Fraser. She’s pretty much always a happy dog. 🐶
Brora 's tail never stops 😊. Great video, admire you for your solo hikes.
Thank you Fiona. 👍
Beautiful!
Thank you. 🙏
Isn't she.
Hello Linda... a very good choice of camping location, enough for relaxation, a very wide expanse of savanna, savanna for herding sheep and cows, accompanied by beautiful dogs, beautiful natural panorama, I really like it, I'm waiting for the next video...... nice to meet you, I'm Rudy from Indonesia..........
Hi Rudy, thanks so much for watching. Yes, it was a beautiful spot for camping. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors 💚👍
What a great walk, but on such a hot day! The going underfoot looks to be mostly very good though & a fantastic camping spot. Well done & thanks for carrying the camera gear too.
Thanks Ashley. 👍
Another lovely video, Linda. Nice countryside, apart from those pesky cows!! Brora is a wee trooper and that tail just never stops. Looking forward to your last section of this walk, which is quite an undertaking, especially with a big pack and a dog! Kathleen
Thanks Kathleen, yeah she’s pretty much permanently happy! 🐶
Another fab video thank you Linda making me homesick as always. Presently living in NZ love all your videos :)
Aww, thanks so much Keith. I bet NZ has some amazing scenery. 🤩
@@LindaOutdoors It has it has for sure but not the same kind of access as Scotland and England. Hoping to get back next year, not sure whether to walk this or the West Highland Way I'll be happy just to be back :) Keep making videos and always have that wee dram at days end ;)
@@keithturner428 aww, thank you Keith. Slàinte Mhath 🥃
I've started binge watching your trek.
But I was especially taken by the section going through Lauder. Not least because I stayed in a flat a few years back (the original butlers pantry) in Thirlestane castle.
I believe it's part of the museum now.
But I walked the local area and, though partly agricultural, was really a pleasure. Wildlife thriving, woodpeckers, red squirrels, and possibly an otter in the river, though some said it was more likely a mink.
Happy days😊
It was a really nice section through the castle grounds & a nice change from the farmland. Thanks so much for watching. 👍
Very good Linda , keep up your walks :-)
Thank you 🙏
Really understood how enjoyable that was for you, apart from the cattle.
Great walk x
Thanks Philip. 👍
Well done 🎉 on finishing the walk, I am so with you on the cow 🐮 phobia 😮I am also scared of them, and I make gelato for a dairy 😂😂. The stop at the river was just perfect ❤ If you ever came to Aberdeenshire and did walk Bennachie I’d love to join you. Thank you for sharing. xx
Thanks Angie. I’ve not done Bennachie yet. Need to put it on my list. 👍
What a great day's walk and what a find that path was by the A68. Re: cows, yeah, they put an edge on stuff like this esp with a dog, that's a +1 for the Cape Wrath Trail which you'll enjoy (there's me assuming that's still on your list after meeting up at top of Cona Glen 2021!). Idyllic camp spot I recall having a wee moment at that bridge when doing the Herring Road - shaky youtube video gopro hero 4 you've filmed it so much better. Well done on another video that captures you and Brora's journey so well
Thanks again, unfortunately cows put a bit of a dampener on the trail. Hoping to do the CWT but in 3 or 4 day sections (a bit like the SUW). It’s a complete bummer that Citylink don’t allow dogs on buses. Makes it a bit more awkward to plan. 👍
@LindaOutdoors train to Queen St then Ft W? Then if you can get to Strathcarron from there in 1 section train back via Inverness? Yeah not ideal but if you have time to break journey at Inverness and find a dog friendly B&B and reuse for getting back for section 2 to Ullapool? Ewans taxis to Garve for train home. The Durness bus back to Inverness for section 3 can't see them having problem with dog but best ask! Bloody logistics and cows 🤣🤣
I get nervous around cows too - I think that a lot of walkers do.
If you ever walk up to Cairnpapple in West Lothian, you'll find that the farmer has put a couple of fences up to create a passage from the layby to the top of the hill. Before the fences were there, I was always wary going up there when there were cattle in the field. It feels a lot safer now.
More farmers should do something similar where there is a recognised walking route across their land.
That said, I was talking to a farmer in Cupar last year and the subject came up. He said one of those cows could break through a wire fence or a drystone wall with ease, only they aren't clever enough to figure that out.
I’ve been to Cairnpapple a few times and know the passage you mean. I’ve not seen cows there but sheep. It’s certainly a good idea. They have something similar heading to Newburgh on the Fife Coastal Path. I guess the electric fences are to deter the cows from barging right through the walls/fences. Thanks so much for watching. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors I know the section that you mean. I noticed that you were using Pocket Mountains' Kingdom of Fife book when you did the Fife Coastal Path. That book is getting a bit long in the tooth now, so I'm working on the replacement just now. Should be out later this year, hopefully. This will be my 5th book for them.
@@dougiemilnephotography756 I have lots of these wee books, love them. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors If you have any of mine (West Lothian, The Ochils, The Campsies and Kintyre), and you come across anything which is no longer correct, please let me know.
@@dougiemilnephotography756 Will do, I have the first 2 on the list. 👍
14 kg is some payload, I am 5'8" 68kg and the absolute maximum I will take on trail is 10 kg although a loaded backpack should not weigh more than about 20 percent of your body weight .As ever a total delight seeing Brora the barry wee dug scrambling in the great Scottish outdoors. I sign off here by noting how good it would be to see you navigate St Cuthbert's Way, although perhaps a bit too late in the year to be planning the logistics for that, we live in hope.
Thank you. Yeah, I really need to go a bit more lightweight but carrying food for Brora & I make that difficult. Brora is really the star 🌟 of the channel. I just tag along! 😂
