Passing the ruins of Glenluce Abbey and proceeding north along the Water of Luce, this 15th section of St Ninian’s Way starts at the crossroads of Glenluce. It heads north- west along road and track for 2 km to Glenluce Abbey, then continues along east bank of the Water of Luce 4 km to Cruise (crossroads with Southern Upland Way) and then 2 km to New Luce (Conservation Village)

Alternatively, for an extra 6 km, at Cruise take the Southern Upland Way going East for 5 km to the road and waterfall on the Cross Water of Luce, then take the minor road back to New Luce.
