THE life and legacy of John Muir, the
Scots-born naturalist and founder of America's National Parks, is being
celebrated with the opening of a new coast-to-coast pathway across the heart of
Scotland.
The John Muir Way walking trail stretches
134 miles from Helensburgh in the west to Dunbar in the east.
From the Banks of Loch Lomond to
Edinburgh, the tour takes walkers through mountains, lochs, canals and coastal
scenery to see Scotland at its very best.
Described by the New York Times as, 'one of the greatest thinkers of America',
Muir's activism was pivotal in preserving some of North America's great parks: Yosemite
Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas.
