Scottish equivalent Until Union with England in 1707, Scotland's equivalent of the phrase was often "John o' Groats to Maidenkirk", as Maidenkirk (Kirkmaiden) was traditionally considered Scotland's southernmost point, a trip. This can be found in Robert Burns' poem On Captain Grose's Peregrinations thro' Scotland and the song, The Lady of Kenmure: From John o' Groats to Maidenkirk You'll never find a truer For loyal faith and dauntless deeds, Than the Lady of Kenmure. The southernmost village in Scotland is actually nearby Drummore. English equivalent The length of the English mainland is delineated by the distance between Land's End and Marshall Meadows Bay in Northumberland. The distance is by road or as the crow flies. The traversal of the length of England is sometimes used to define charity events such as walks and cycle-rides.
