From Walkerburn, walked road NE and took gated road 'Old Caberston Forest' (NT 3719 3768) for Early Knowe, Scawd Law (via a revisit to Cairn Hill) and Priesthope Hill first. Then a saunter down to here. Returned using MTB tracks through How Yards / Purvis Hill. Took me a fair bit out of my way, but windthrow prevented a more direct return. | jonglew | 17/01/2024 |
From Priesthope Law. Descended on mtb tracks to forest road then walked back to Walkerburn. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 09/01/2024 |

Parking just S of metal bridge over R Tweed in Walkerburn (NT361368). Lane adjacent to farm café shop N and up to Priesthope ruins. Forest track SE then steeply straight up S ridge of Cairn Hill. Thin FP in heather to Scawd Law. Angled down to East Grain (tough heather) to contour around south flank of Middle Hill to West Grain, then steeply up to col at Priesthope Sware. Steeply up to Priesthope Hill. MTB tracks down to and over Kirnie Law, down SW to bend in forest track NT342380. Followed this E to Purvis Hill – do not try and shortcut NE here down to Walkerburn – there is massive windblow | Isbjorn | 01/05/2023 |

Walkhighlands route from Leithen Road CP with SHC. Excellent and straightforward route. | TRG318 | 10/07/2022 |
Between Innerleithen and Walkerburn missing bus at end by 30 seconds due to slow companion. Did battle with out of date mapping but other than that straight forward. | fasgadh | 01/05/2022 |
Parked on B709 at end of track signposted for Pirn Hill fort. Over the humpbacked bridge and followed trails all the way up to summit. Rather warm with just enough cooling breeze at times. On to Priesthope Hill. | Jubilado | 21/04/2022 |
