Markers of the shared experiences
Blazes, signs and cairns provided a reminder of our progress on the route, reinforcing the work that others have done to blaze this trail for us, reminding us that we share the Way with all others that have hiked the route before.
The signs provided an interesting extra depth to the hike by giving background on the lands we passed through. Numerous signs provided historical details on a variety of subjects, giving us an idea of the changes that the land and its people have encountered throughout time. Especially in the Highlands, imagining the battles fought among the Clans and between the Clans and the English brought a sobering reality to how other people experienced hiking this same route very differently.
