Transport Secretary Michael Matheson has pledged an extra £3.9m to develop the National Cycle Network in Scotland, bringing the total to £6.9m for 2018/19 (August 10th).The move will fund a series of infrastructure improvements to make it easier and safer for people to walk and cycle across Scotland.The most significant changes to the network will complete the last two sections of the Caledonia Way (National Cycle Network Route 78), between Campbeltown and Inverness, and develop a new route between Doune and Callander.The funding will also be used for the completion of construction of Soldiers Bridge in Fort William and enhance existing NCN routes across central Scotland to encourage every day active journeys.
