We seek to built a pedestrian footbridge on the John o' Groats Trail, a long-distance walking Trail located on the northern coast of Scotland. The bridges will be built over Loth Burn, and will help make the Trail safer and more accessible, helping to enhance slow tourism in the Highlands.

Situation
The Loth Burn presents a difficult obstacle along the John o' Groats Trail. Crossing this burn is challenging, even dangerous, for walkers: when the tide is in or if it is in spate, then the burns is nearly impassable. This can be off-putting for those who may be less mobile or able to jump the burn, or wade through, and means that that the Trail, and indeed local communities, are impacted.
Solution
By constructing a bridge at Loth, we are ensuring that walkers are kept safe, and that the Trail is a more accessible and more attractive 'slow tourism' proposition for locals and visitors alike: this will increase access to the great outdoors for many more people, and the bridges will benefit whole communities along the northern coast of Scotland.
