Followed the fence from Turner Cleuch Law. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 22/06/2023 |
Tight parking for one on rough ground just before the bridge on the private road to Sundhope (do not block access to the grassy track), NT338256. No waymarkers to help you through the maze of buildings, keep to the true L bank of the burn to use the hidden gate to escape the fenced in area. Fell path towards Ettrickbridge to col, then intermittent ATV tracks along ridge to Sundhope Height, Scar Hill, Black Knowe Head and Eldinhope Middle Hill, then down into the Sundhope Burn valley and a route through the pastures within which hillocks prevent one from seeing where the next gate lies | Isbjorn | 19/04/2023 |
Parked roadside verge ~300m S of Eldinhope Cottage (NT 2977 2368). Meg's Hill first then across to here on a reasonably direct line. On to Scar Hill -> Sundhope Height -> Eldinhope Knowe -> Eldinhope North Hill for a pleasant 12.2k round. | jonglew | 31/01/2022 |
Space for a car at the end of the public road to Sundhope, just before the bridge. Over the bridge and left around the first field to open hillside. Circuit of Sundhope Height, Scar Hill, Black Knowe Head and Eldinhope Knowe. Returned on track through farm. | PGCE | 17/03/2021 |
Parked opposite Sundhope road end. Through field then trods and atv tracks to Sandbed Moss then along watershed. atv track and path came and went but decent underfoot over Sundhope Height and on to Scar Hill and Black Knowe Head. Dropped down direct to Sundhopehead then track and road to car. | SS | 11/10/2020 |
Parked tight against fence on a wide bit of road 30m E. of bridge at NT 3423 2175 - WSW along road for about 1.5km & up track to wall - N. up alongside wall to summit & trig point, making use of available sheep trods; these especially useful through large areas of bracken on lower slopes. Continued to Scar Hill & Sundhope Height. (S) | gerrybowes | 07/07/2020 |
From Eldinhope Knowe. 
There is now a high electric fence running to Turner Cleuch Law. Other than near the summit of Black Knowe, no crossing places have been provided for around 3km. Make sure you pick the right side, especially if going for Meg’s Hill. | fasgadh | 28/10/2019 |
parked to south near track black knowe head, scar hill, sundhope height. | robertphillips | 05/06/2016 |
TCL Round, parked @ start of path at 298237. Overcast, cold, strong wind, dry and good views. | iangalbraith | 26/01/2015 |
Track from B7009 then up beside wall north to BKH then followed fences to Scar Hill and both tops of Sundhope heights. Confused by new grouse butts so took longer to get back to the road just E of The Inch. | chrisbien | 09/08/2012 |
