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.jonglew17/01/2024

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.
