Funding has been secured to allow a coastal path taking in the clifftop scenery of Scotland’s most southerly tip to be created.

More than £660,000 from the National Lottery will go to the 64-mile Rhins of Galloway walking route.

It will link into the existing Mull of Galloway trail creating an 83-mile circular route around the peninsula.

The latest funding completes a package of £1.1m needed to repair and connect existing paths and create new ones.

Any locals know if this is going to be good as a bikepacking overnighter/weekender?

tis doable, but bear in mind that parts of the proposed walk will be over rocks,beaches and perhaps some steep cliffs…you will have to hike a bike a bit….LOL

below is the present Coastal path

Aye, sounded great on the news there, hope it’s a bit better than the useless Arran or Ayrshire coastal paths…
