The Southern Upland Way has an additional exciting element about it. A Treasure Hunt! Hidden 13ths are to be found in Kists along the trail. These tokens are based on an art project that commenced in 2002- Waymerks
I was past the half-way point of the Southern Upland Way and had the east coast of Scotland (almost) in my sights. The bigger climbs were now behind me and the paths became easier underfoot. While there was rain ahead, I cared not as I was just about recovered from illness and enjoying the trail immensely.
