| From the small CP to the north, 4 of 4. | robertphillips | 11/02/2024 |
| From CP at 551330 - a pleasant stroll up Cauldshiels Hills, White Law and Dod Hill. A fair bit of windblow to negotiate in the summit plantation. | sclater | 15/03/2023 |
| From small dirt car park near end of public road to the N (NT 5109 3299). 6.5k round of 4 small hills. The 2 Cauldshiels Hills and White Law first. Dropped down to the Borders Way then from Faldonsidemoor across a pasture up to here - obvious small mound in Dod Plantation. 8th and final hill of the day. | jonglew | 30/01/2022 |
| Same route as log of 20/12/16 | Thearlaichdubh | 28/06/2021 |
| Bagged while walking the Borders Abbey Way. Selkirk to Melrose | Andrew Simmons | 07/01/2021 |
| Bet this one gets the chop. Easy addition to round either side of Galashiels. Through woodland from the Border Abbeys Way. All runnable and mostly beautiful deciduous woodland. Summit in Sitka, but extraction lanes are your friend. Returned to Gala via a fast descent past Faldonside and the cyclepath from the Yair turn off the A7. 5/5 | fasgadh | 28/07/2020 |
| P where BAW leaves the road. After Dod Hill went on to White Law. | chrisbien | 28/07/2020 |
| 4 tump circuit: Both Cauldshiels, White Law and Dod Hill. Parking at carpark only known to locals NT501325. | David Evans | 16/02/2018 |
| Second of 4 on foot from Melrose. | NormanW | 25/07/2017 |
| First of round from Tweedbank station via Borders Abbey Way. Walk along the ridge and then highest point is about 5m from boundary of dense forest with field - in the forest pleasant nonetheless. | Thearlaichdubh | 20/12/2016 |
| Pleasant woodland until entering the summit conifer plantation. High point would appear to lie midway between brash filled forebreaks | Colin Crawford | 15/03/2016 |
| 3rd hill of 7 today on route from Galashiels to Melrose climbing Gala Hill, visiting Abbotsford House en route, Cauldshiels Hill, back onto the Borders Abbeys way and then on through some lovely deciduous woodland,following the edge of this for a while,climbing back into it at a gate and then leading to a strip of conifer planting where summit is, just on or off the track. Returned, keeping inside woodland and back onto minor road. | Dazingdale | 16/05/2015 |
