From the Tower car park, taking the marked path and detouring via a gate to outflank a barbed wire fence, before a miniature ridge walk to the summit trig next to a concrete shelter. Great views from the Eildons to the Cheviots. Don't miss Smailholm Tower with its delightful tableaux of the Border Ballads. | Nick Down1 | 08/10/2017 |
Bagging the trig. Great viewpoint. | BigJ | 21/03/2017 |
