Four decades of the Southern Upland Way
A coast-to-coast path across the south of Scotland is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its opening.
The Southern Upland Way runs 214 miles (344km) from Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway to Cockburnspath in the Borders.
The route was officially opened on 27 April 1984 and it has been estimated to have generated significant tourist revenue for the south of Scotland.
It is hoped the anniversary celebrations can help to attract even more people to visit.
