Who are we?
Our website address is: https://thewhithornway.co.uk
The Whithorn Way is a volunteer organization composed of like-minded individuals who are eager to share their passion for walking or cycling along one of Scotland’s long-distance routes from Glasgow to Whithorn. The Whithorn Way passes through five Council Regions, each offering a unique array of history, flora, fauna, and many other wonderful attractions. When engaging in walking or cycling, it is essential to show care to all other road users, buildings, and livestock at all times.
