Circuit from Kirkhope of Rodger, Ballencleuch & Scaw'd Laws, Glenleith Fell, Wedder Law & Sheil Dod. Pretty easy going except for descent along the Carsehope Burn, which was a bit rough. There were a lot of vehicles on Gana Hill, presumably out for a shoot.sclater25/08/2023

Parked just north of Kirkhope at NS 96396 05816 - room for 2-3 cars in small quarry by road. Walked through farmyard and south on the track by the Daer Water. Then followed track steeply up the south-east flank of Shiel Dod to its highest point, then north for about 100m on plateau. It's anyone's guess where the true high point lies in such a flat area. Continued on to Wedder Law.Man of Kernow103/09/2014
