Countryside rangers operate along the whole length of the Way.
· They are responsible for day-to-day maintenance of the footpath, waymarkers, stiles, boardwalks and bridges, as well as the overall development of the route.
· They know their sections of the Way very well and can give you information and guidance on planning your route.
· For specific information and advice or if you encounter any problems on a particular section of the route please contact the relevant ranger service.
· For more general information and leaflets please contact the Scottish Borders Council Ranger Service. If you have a general enquiry or request you can also email us an enquiry using the enquiry link on the home page.
