Glengaber hill and Peatshank head from yarrow.robertphillips07/01/2024
From Innerleithen. Followed path to Traquair then path running S just to E of Curly Burn. Veered off path to W and up to beallach and on to Curley Cairn (open ground looks higher than cairn in forest). Was planning to continue to Paddock Slack but high fence blocked easy access, so on to Welshie Law, Glengaber Hill and Peatshank Head. Returned via path by Glenagaber.RobertP19/12/2023
