Scarborough to South Shields
Scarborough | Whitby | Redcar | Middlesbrough | Stockton on Tees | Sunderland | South Shields
From Scarborough to Whitby, the route directly follows the course of the former Scarborough and Whitby Railway, now known locally as The Cinder Track. The terrain is mostly off-road and passes over the Larpool Viaduct. The route is disconnected between Whitby and Staithes. The North York Moors National Park Authority is researching the possibility of a cycle link between the two, possibly over an old railway line.[5][6] After Staithes, the route drops back onto the road and follows the coast road to Redcar and through the south of Middlesbrough. Crossing the Tees Barrage at Stockton on Tees, the route then snakes through the town before joining the former Castle Eden Railway, now The Castle Eden Walkway. This travels directly north to Sunderland, snakes through the city and crosses the River Wear over the Wearmouth Bridge before heading towards the coast, where it then follows the coast road all the way to South Shields and reaching the River Tyne. The final part of this section of the route enters the Pedestrian and Cyclist Tyne Tunnel to cross the river to Newcastle upon Tyne.

Edinburgh to John o' Groats
Edinburgh | Dundee | Aberdeen | Inverness | Thurso | John o' Groats
The route heads northwest out of Edinburgh with NCN 76, which diverges at Cramond Brig through Dalmeny Estate to follow the coast. NCN 1 instead takes a more direct route to South Queensferry, alongside the A90 and through Dalmeny.
It then crosses the Forth Road Bridge and heads through Inverkeithing, again linking with NCN 76, and onwards north across the M90. The journey through Dunfermline's eastern suburbs is on traffic-free paths. Near Dunfermline Queen Margaret railway station it links with NCN 764, which travels west towards Clackmannan.
Out of Townhill the route uses country lanes and some B-roads, climbing into the Cleish Hills and passing through Blairadam Forest, then back under the M90 on its way to Kinross. NCN 1 now uses the Loch Leven Heritage Trail around the loch, before making its way east around the base of the Lomond Hills. In Falkland it links with NCN 776, which travels north towards Newburgh.
