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.

Our third edition includes 4 more pages (mainly Reference material with checklists, passport scheme and bikepacking advice) and also many fresh photos and a couple of route updates. The mapping has been improved with mileage markers and a km grid to help with distance awareness. Despite more pages, it weighs over 50 grams less than its predecessor, and is more easily pocketable, thanks to perfect binding and a narrower page.
