Untitled[edit]

I believe that part of this trail is also part of the E2 European Long-Distance Trail (leading eventually to Nice). This should probably be mentioned (with particulars that I don't have) in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.149.46 (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Only took 9 years. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:31, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal – bothies[edit]

There are stub articles for 6 bothies whose only claim to fame seems to be that they are on the SUW. If they are part of an official setup of bothies for the path, then I suggest they would be better described in this article on the path – they could have redirects from individual bothie names.

John Dippie's Well[edit]

I removed the wording below, as it not especially relavent to this article, and the same information (but referenced) is in the Watch Water article. Grinner (talk) 07:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the Lammermuir Hills, near Longformacus close to where the Way crosses the Watch Water, is John Dippie's Well. The well is marked by a carved stone "headstone" which tells that there is no sweeter water in the Lammermuir Hills. John Dippie was a gamekeeper and the reason the water was so sweet was that he added some whisky to it before the thirsty shooting parties slaked their thirsts. The "headstone" marks their appreciation.

Good move. If the whole route and its landmarks and places of interest were described in detail, this wouldn't look so out of place, but its current prominence was anomalous. I don't know the site and it's a nice enough folk story, but I suspect it's not even a significant landmark on the SUW route. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
