Peg placed in ground at 'true' summit...or then again it could be that blade of grass just slightly to the east! There or thereabouts. | sarahk | 06/11/2023 |
Circuit of the Glen from Kirkhouse | BLACKHILL | 17/10/2023 |
Started from layby in Glen Road, Peebles. Up the Cross Borders Drove Road over Craig Head, then a wee teeny path to Kailzie Hill. Back on Drove Road over Kirkhope Law and on to Birkscairn Hill. Out & back wee path to Birks Hill. Path over Stake Law then a bit boggy & peat hags before final climb up Dun Rig. Descended NE ridge on a very good mainly grass track to Glensax & out on the track & road. Murky, no views. 21km, 800m. 4hrs 40mins. No time to complete horseshoe but route was good. | Lynnebe | 17/09/2023 |

From Glen Road with Rod, out drove road then up to Birkscairn Hill and on to Dun Rig. Underfoot was pretty decent in the short boggy section. Then round to Glenrath Heights and Hundleshope Heights before atv track down to valley and back to car. Phoned dentist from latter of those as a filling dropped out on the walk! | SS | 25/04/2023 |

A clockwise circuit of the Glensax hills from the end of Glen Road, Peebles. Good path to Craig Head, Kirkhope Law and Birkscairn Hill then rather wet and boggy ground to take in Birks Hill, Stake Law, Dun Rig and Middle Hill. Finally, Hundleshope Heights and Newby Kipps were accessed via ATV tracks, then down to Upper Newby and the road back to the car. 5.15hrs total. | summitter | 10/10/2022 |

Clockwise horseshoe walk around Glensax Burn from Glen Road, Peebles. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 27/04/2022 |
3rd attempt at this hill. Previous two attempts failed due to general can't be bothered, let's head down into the glen and see what delights Peebles has to offer! 
Along the Drover Route taking in summits then round to Dunrig. Descent north east (ish) on ATV track right down to head of the glen. | Fife Walking | 09/04/2022 |

Yesterday I nipped down to Peebles, to do the Dun Rig horseshoe route south of the town. This is clockwise circuit with of four Donald hills starting with Birkscairn Hill (661m), then south west up to the boggy summit of Dun Rig (744m) also a Graham. Continuing south west then turning north up onto Glenrath Heights (732m) and west to Stob Law (676m). From here the route was to return to Glenrath Heights, but the re-ascent was more than I fancied, so I dropped down to the north into the Manor Valley and followed the road back to Peebles. There was cold mist with strong winds up until Dun Rig, but this burned off and the bright sunshine, actually obscured the view to the south, 07:40hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 16/01/2022 |

Ascent from Macbeths Castle, followed atv track on ridge up to Dun Rig, then retraced steps to Glenrath Heights, then into Stob Law. Still warm day. 6 hours in total. | kenmorti | 13/11/2021 |
with K, J and M from Manor Valley road via Glenrath Farm and fine grassy ridge curving up to awkward walking on muirburn, thick heather. Beautiful sunny, still, cool day but sun warm. Then back to do Middle Hill and Stob Law, walking much easier on these two. | niallp | 13/11/2021 |

From End of Glen Road. Kirkhope Law - Birkscairn Hill - Dun Rig - Middle Hill - Hundleshope Heights. Almost 6 hours which was good considering lots of boggy paths. Strange how they wire fenced across gap between Stake Law and Dun Rig without a crossing or gate, still it's easy to leg over it. | Jhimmy | 10/10/2021 |
