Working with local people, communities and businesses to make sustainable use of our natural and cultural heritage.
About Us
Who we are
The Southern Uplands Partnership (SUP) is a rural development charity, started in 1999 by local people keen to keep the communities and countryside of the south of Scotland alive and healthy.
The charity spans the breadth of southern Scotland from Dumfries & Galloway in the west to the Scottish Borders in the east, and works with a whole host of people, groups, government bodies, agencies and councils.

The stiles along the path between Dumfries & Cargenbridge have been replaced with self-closing gates. This helps open the area up for more users as well as making it more accessible. Please note that under no circumstances must these gates be tied open, as livestock could be present or be on their way to enter the field.
A good time was had reminiscing about the art of crossing at stiles and marvelling the good work of our contractors JSF Ltd.
Thank you to our funders Dumfries and Galloway Council, The People's Project, Dumfries and South of Scotland Enterprise for the generous funding and support.
