That's not very accurate, as the map is a mercator projection so they shouldn't be perfect circles, they should be more like inverted egg shapes.

This map is incorrect, there is an answer in the song itself: They walked 500 miles away, then 500 miles back, "Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door"  .

Since we're being pedantic, you also can't walk in a straight line, you've got to go where there are paths, so it's likely to be significantly less distance travelled. Possibly the walking 500 miles more is that, having gotten to their destination, they discover that their loved one has moved again.

It's easy, they took a walk down to London to pick up some tea, then a quick detour over to Plymouth for some chocolates. Drop by Glasgow for a quick pint, and then up to Aberdeen to finally stand in front that door after about a thousand miles. The girl just has a very particular taste in gifts, is all.

If it's 500 miles there and 500 back, Leith to Newquay is pretty much dead on. Google maps estimates that 500 miles is a 168 hour walk. Assuming they walk 8 hours a day, that's a 21 day journey each way. Accounting for weather; injury; inability to walk eight hours a day, seven days a week without extensive training; whatever other delays... I'd say you probably want to allow for at least three months. It's a pretty impressive show of commitment, but also pretty crazy and if you require a partner to go to that sort of extreme to demonstrate their love for you, and they actually do it, you've probably both got some issues.
