With the valley of Bonny Water to the right. The 134 mile John Muir Way, running coast to coast across Scotland's Central Belt, celebrates the Dunbar-born Scotsman who emigrated to America aged 11. Here his love of nature led him to become a leading advocate for the preservation of wilderness areas. He is often referred to as 'the father of national parks'
