| Backpacking round from Innerleithen, parking in woodland car park just to N of bridge over the Tweed. Joined Southern Upland way at Traquair, then diverted to Blake Muir. Continued to Deuchar Law then WSW to find forest ride (start of originally planned path blocked by row of felled trees) heading to Bught Rig and down to use footbridge across Douglas Burn near bottom of Ritty Cleuch (not shown on map). Climbed curving ridge to Deepslack Knowe. Continued W over rough ground to reach beallach S of Black Law and continued to Conscleuch Head and Broomy Law. Contoured round to Henderland Hill and descended E to Old Kirkstead, crossing Kirkstead Burn with footbidge. Followed track through Dryhope (farm) to reach Southern Upland Way. Diverted to climb Ward Law, and descended NNE to rejoin the Way. Crossed the bridge at Craighope and climbed Craig Hill N Top. Contunued by fence N to rejoin the Way and reverse outward route. Rain for much of route and misty at times. | RobertP | 07/10/2023 |

| From small mapped parking on A708 near Dryhope (NT 2712 2429). SUW for short distance then peeled off to take the SW nose up. On to Deepslack Knowe, Black Law and SW Top, Conscleuch Head and Deer Law before dropping steeply down in NE direction to pick up estate road at bottom of Ferny Cleuch for a 5k walk out. A pleasant 17.3 round albeit in wintery conditions on the tops. | jonglew | 07/04/2022 |

| Up from the west after disturbing a social gathering amongst the Aberdeen Angus locals. Cows and calves ldisturbed with two bulls in a small field left behind and very vocal. Lots of noise on the way up. They were asleep on return. Lovely hill. Down steeply and onto the Deepslack bogfest. | fasgadh | 04/07/2020 |

| 3rd hill of 10 today on my alternative Southern Upland way route from Tibbie Shiel's Inn on St. Mary's loch to the Caddon view Country hotel in Innerleithen, climbing Nether Hill and the Wiss before descending through the forest back onto the SUW beside St. Mary's loch.
