Links to other Walking Websites
SCSuport Ltd has several interests relating to long distance
walking, this spanning the design & maintenance of route websites,
guiding of walks, planning and booking of walking holidays. The former
related to portal websites is done under the name of
I-Net Support
and below are a series of other routes that we promote on the web. |
The latter, related to guiding, planning and booking is done through
Walking Support. We also
offer baggage transfers support directly on the Borders Abbeys Way
and indirectly on all other Ways that we support.
Walkers may want to contact us regarding this walk or any of the
others detailed below.
We now also support a number of one or two day walks and these are detailed on the
Walking Support website. |

The ROB ROY WAY
SCSupport, while being fully committed to the ongoing development of the St
Cuthbert's Way Walk, was actively much more involved in the development of the long
distance walking route between Drymen and Pitlochry. The Rob Roy Way was
opened in 2002.
|
 |
|
This development was both in terms of the walking route and the
setting up of a website similar in structure to this website. We would
encourage visitors to also visit the
www.robroyway.com so that you can plan your next walk following
your excursion on the St Cuthbert's Way.
|
|
The GREAT GLEN WAY
Since the summer of 2002 we have also established a website full of
walking instruction and interest on the then recently opened Scottish
Natural Heritage route the
Great Glen Way.
The site set up by I-NetSupport has all the usual information sections and an accommodation and service
provisions section that continues to expand. If however the walker
cannot find all they need Walking
Support can offer a complete planning, booking and guiding service on this and many other routes.

|
The FIFE COASTAL PATH
This routes was developed and opened in 2005.
|
 |
|
Enjoy a totally different walking experience that has few hills to climb and is rarely far from a community village or town. But
add in the facinating history, the heritage and some outstanding coastal views and you begin to understand the enjoyment of
this route.
Visit
www.fifecoastalpath.net so that you can plan a future walk following
your excursion on the St Cuthbert's Way.

The SIR WALTER SCOTT WAY
This is a further walk that is being promoted by I-NetSupport and was
launched in the spring of 2003. This is a 92 mile route going
past Abbotsford, the home of the great writer Sir Walter Scott. The
route passes through Scottish Border Countryside that was the
inspiration for many of Sir Walter Scott's greatest poems and novels.
This route makes no apology for being almost entirely on the line of the
eastern section of the Southern Upland Way (SUW). It is thought that it has opened up
this part of the SUW to walkers that would not have contemplated walking the whole of the
route, and has encouraged them to enjoy the eastern section then return at a later time to
tackle the western section.
|
This Way meets with the St Cuthbert's Way at Melrose as it continues north
and east towards the Berwickshire coast.
We would encourage visitors to also visit
www.sirwalterscottway.com so that you can plan your next walk following
your experience on the St Cuthbert's Way.

for several year but 2006 saw some re-alignment and extensions to this interesting route.

The St OSWALD's WAY

This route is 97 miles / 155 Km in length and opens up the wonderful scenery of Northumberland, from the coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the charming Coquet River and them on to the World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall.
This is a route steeped in history from a time just a matter of a few decades before that associate with St Cuthbert's Way. St Oswald was the King of Northmbria and he invited St Aidan to set up the Christian community on the Holy Island. St Cuthbert was inspired by the work of St Aidan and following a time at Old Melrose he followed in St Aidan's footsteps and become Abbot of Lindisfarne.

several years and has recently benefitted from some route enhancements reducing the road walking and
introducing some great new scenery.

 |
|
The Cateran Trail acknowledged as the first Scottish Circular Long Distance walking route this 65 mile
(104 Km) route has much to recommend it to the outdoor enthusiast. Situated in the heart of Scotland
