The third day of the Southern Upland Way celebration heads into the moors to explore an area where human habitation is sparse.
Starting near New Luce, we head in a north easterly direction into the wild moors of Galloway, and some great vistas. Human habitation is sparse in this area, with some hardy farmers, but there is also plenty of forest and a fair few wind turbines, as well as points of historical interest.
We walk as far as the tiny community of Knowe where we join our bus for our journey back to Newton Stewart.
