Best foot forward at launch of Scotland's longest walking trail

Scotland's longest walking route, stretching 470 miles from the English Border to Cape Wrath, has been launched with the hope it will bring more tourists to the country.

The Gore-tex Scottish National Trail starts where the Pennine Way ends at Kirk Yetholm in the Borders, wends through hills to the central belt where it follows the Forth and Clyde and Union canals between Edinburgh and Glasgow, before striking north through Highland Perthshire and on to the Highlands.
