This was certainly another anxious wild camping, possibly due to the fact it was just my solo second time ever wild camp. Borders Abbeys Way is definitely overlooked above others scottish highlands long-distance paths, but it is definitely a beautiful walk to experience.
You encounter 4 beautiful ruins of abbeys on the path, which played crucial role in the region tried but many conflicts in between Scotland and England. The path follows the same path as it used to be used by monks, locals and by notorious reivers which made moving across the region quite dangerous. Luckily nowadays it is nice walk without concerns of being robbed or killed by any reivers who might jump out from surrounding forests or field.
Yet while walking it is certainly interesting to think about stories of people walking the path in the past. Come with me to experience this not only historical but as well adventurous path across Scottish Borders. I have done the walk in stages always doing one stage and wild camping over night, which can give an idea of the path through wild camper perspective.
Thank you so much for watching!!
