The Southern Upland Way is 338km long, and is situated in southern Scotland. It runs from Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, next to the Atlantic Ocean, and finishes in Cocksburnpath in the Borders, next to the North Sea.
The Speyside Way is 138km long, and runs from Buckie, on the Moray coast, to Newtonmore near Aviemore. It passes through Speyside, as the name suggests, which is fine whisky country.

The West Island Way, at only 45km long, is the shortest route in this quiz, and the shortest of the official long distance routes in Scotland. It is located in the island of Bute, and consists of two circular routes in the north and south of the island, plus a linear link path.
