Journey from Cockburnspath

Buses from Cockburnspath run north to Dunbar and Edinburgh (airport) and south to Berwick-on-Tweed (mainline trains, including to Newcastle for its airport). Those with private transport have the nearby A1 to take them to destinations both south and north. There is currently no accommodation at Cockburnspath: you should allow time at the day’s end for the short bus journey to Dunbar.

Transport links along the SUW

Those planning to do the SUW in one- or two-day stages will find the good – or at worst usable – public transport links they need.

 Stranraer (Stage 1) has bus links to Dumfries, and trains to Glasgow. There is even a ferry to Belfast from Cairnryan, a few miles to the north.

 Castle Kennedy (end stage 1) is on the Dumfries–Stranraer bus route.

 Glenluce (end stage 2) has a bus to Stranraer three days a week.
