HOLIDAY OVERVIEW
Starting over in the south west of Scotland at Stranraer at the bottom of Loch Ryan, this Coast to Coast route takes you from the sculpure of MacMillans Velocipede, along some of the best scenery Southern Scotland has to offer, before ending on the other side of Scotland at the charming border fishing port of Eyemouth on the North Sea.
