From Faseny Bridge to Killpallet Rig, Little Law, Hunt Hill, Seenes Law, Lowrans Law, Harestone Hill.

With E. Parked in small layby on minor road opposite gate down to Faseny Cottage. Took track alongside Faseny Water which crosses stream several times as it winds round and up to summit trig point. Then over fence for 100 metres to Meikle Says Law boundary on the heather moor. Retuned following faint path over Sheil Rig and Dun Side.Beeliner27/04/2022
Tracks and ATV trails from Faseny Cottage, up Dun Side to Meikle Says Law and the historic county top, then track and cut heather crossing to Harestone Hill. Back along the track running through the glen between East Rig and Dun Side, jumping several sections of the burn where the path crosses them.summitter03/12/2021

From Faseny Cottage, over the ford, then up to the trig. Wandered around in the heather with SatMap for the high point. No feature. With Sail.Dangerous Dave15/04/2019
Solo. I parked at roadside parking above Faseny Cottage. Followed the track that goes down towards Faseny Cottage and across a footbridge over Faseny Water. Followed the track towards Little Says Law. This is a substantial track as far as a track junction, then becomes a rough track, little used. From there I followed a fence to the summit of Meikle Says Law. The boundary between the historic counties of Berwickshire and Haddingtonshire (later called East Lothian) runs near or not far from the fence. From trig point climbed over a gate to go south to the highest point of the historic county of Berwickshire. On return used a substantial track that descends from the summit of Meikle Says Law to the glen of Faseny Water. It had been misty almost all the time on the walk, but began clearing up towards the end. No precipitation.pwbellarby06/01/2019

Route as for Meikle Says Law. Then over stock fencing to flat boggy 'top'.jonglew16/10/2017
My only top of today as I climbed Meikle Law accidentally which can be reached from the same minor road between Gifford and Longformacus it also does not help that the locals seem to be unaware of two hills in the same area with virtually the same name. This 6.5 mile walk with 270m of climb can be found in Jonny Muir's book of UK County tops start from the lay by opposite Faseny cottage which can not be seen from the road.WAYNE ROWLETT23/08/2016
Parked up from Faseny Cottage. Road runs west, then south, then east all the way to summit. Hopped over into Berwickshire. North East return via Lamb Burn. 6 miles.callumorr06/04/2016
Normally I would settle for getting my head above the highest point, but for the Berwickshire highest point I suppose you really should actually enter Berwickshire. Well, I think I did, although I'm not sure where the boundary is. And I visited the birdfeed box in the summit photo. That will do me!Pete R10/10/2015
Short diversion to join the Golden Plovers, well that was what the man doing the 'post installation' wind-farm bird survey said they were.tim74719/03/2015

Lovely day on Easter weekend. Came up here for the trig and County tops but couldn't resist nabbing the cache as well despite not having a GPS or Compass its easy enough to fix the direction using the map and pace it out.andy07/04/2007
