| Parked in a lay-by near the 309m point on the B7040. We walked along roads/bridge to South Shortcleugh then ATV track up to Leadburn Rig. Heather then stone track to Glen Ea's Hill and then more heather and trods to the gap between Dun Law and Dungrain Law. Up the latter along an ATV track and on to Peden Head, returning to the gap before the ascent of Dun Law. NE along reasonable trod to White Law and then drop/climb to Lousie Wood Law. Back along shooting butt trail and then stone track to South Shortcleugh, road and van brew. | summitter | 15/10/2023 |
| Easy plod over from Glen Ea`s hill | Andrew Simmons | 15/04/2023 |
| Decided to pick up this one on way back to Wanlockhead after completing the Lowther Donalds. Took track from bealach between LWD and Dun Law to the river down in the valley floor. The climb up to Leadburn Rig was made more laborious due to the long grass which took a while to walk through. Eventually picked up ATV track to summit area. | Jossker | 12/08/2022 |
| Grassy parking for 1 x small car at NS923171. Unwelcome start with a ‘private road keep out’ sign (broken) at the start of the track to South Shortcleugh Farm. Avoided the policies of the farm via a track to its E then up to Leadburn Rig and Glen Ea’s Hill, Dungrain Law, Peden Head, Dun Law, White Law, Lousie Wood Law and back to farm. Gold prospector in the Elvan Water had found three bits of gold. | Isbjorn | 07/05/2022 |
| Good roadside pull-in opposite track (NS 9159 1629). Took track to Glen Ea's Hill then Louise Wood Law first. From there a direct descent and up to here over reasonable ground - Lead Burn just a step over. A pleasant 8.5k round. | jonglew | 04/01/2022 |

| With Jenx and Bryher on a circuit over Leadburn Rig, Glen Ea's Hill, Dun Law and Louise Wood Law from road parking to the North at North Shortcleugh (via croft at South Shortcleugh). Nice chill day with views. | nordicstar | 24/10/2019 |
| Shortcleuch- Lousie Wood Law- Dun Law- Glen Ea's Hill- Leadburn Rig- Shortcleuch round with Pete. From Dun Law, with 400 m on the shooting track then across essentially pathless, rough ground, easing as we got higher. We wouldn't have done this hill before we knew about Tumps. But very easy by butts from HP down to S. Shortcleuch. | pwheeler | 19/09/2019 |
