A brand new coast-to-coast cycle route set to launch in Scotland this summer has been unveiled, and its name has been revealed.
The 250-mile route, which will connect Stranraer in the west with Eyemouth on the east coast, will be named after Kirkpatrick Macmillan, the 19th century Dumfriesshire blacksmith who invented the first pedal-driven velocipede.
Officially named 'Kirkpatrick C2C, South of Scotland’s Coast to Coast', the new route will be among the longest in the whole of the UK. The name was unveiled at a major tourism conference organised by the South of Scotland Destination Alliance (SSDA).
