Route: John Buchan Way

The John Buchan Way is a route from Peebles to Broughton in the Scottish Borders, a distance of approximately 22km (13 miles). The route is waymarked in both directions, and was opened in spring 2003.

It is named after the writer and diplomat John Buchan (1875-1940), who has many associations with the area. The route mainly follows long-established hill tracks through the Peeblesshire countryside. It has three main ascents and descents which give a total climb of about 800 metres, but this climb is never severe.

Start: Bank House, at the west end of Peebles High Street. This was a Buchan family home and was later the offices of J. & W. Buchan, Solicitors.

Route Waymarked in Both Directions

Finish: John Buchan Centre, Broughton
