FRESH funding has been secured to develop a “world-class long-distance” walking route through southern Scotland.
Some £4.5 million will be given by South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) for the Destination Tweed project which will see the creation of a 113-mile trail along the River Tweed from Moffat to Berwick-upon-Tweed.
This follows the scheme getting nearly £3m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
