Up from roadside over Cossars Hill > Sandtrea Knowe > Scabcleuch Hill. Enjoyable circular walkAndrew Simmons09/12/2021
Parked by Ettrick village hall. Via church then good path before veering off to reach summit of Craig Hill. Descended roughly NW and rejoined path and the Southern Upland Way. Took a steep traversing line to reach the NE top of Peniestone Knowe, then Peniestone Knowe summit (several mounds could be the top, but the cairn looks lower). Fairly direct route to Scabcleuch Hill, then contour round under Corse Hill and steep climb SW to Sandtraie Knowe. Continued to Cossars Hill and descent to the road and return to Ettrick. Mist quite low for most of walk with drizzle for much of the timeRobertP17/10/2021

Verge parking NT 2337 1314, by a river level monitoring hut. Straight up from the road to Cossars Hill before here. Then on to Herman Law -> Trowgrain Middle -> Andrewhinney Hill -> Bell Craig -> Mid Rig -> Nowtrig Head -> Bodesbeck Law -> Pot Law. Picked up bike at end of public road for nice downhill 4 mile ride back to car.jonglew24/05/2021
P NT234131. Tracks from time to time. Steep start. After Cossars onto Sandtrae. Back a slightly different way.chrisbien01/08/2020
From Herman Law. On to Cossars Hill.Wycombe Wanderer20/04/2019
Parked at the end of the Ettrickdale road and took the forest track signed 'Ettrick Horseshoe and Bodesbeck Law' onto the ridge. Then Bodesbeck Law - Nowtgrain Head - Mid Rig (DT) - Bell Craig - Andrewhinny Hill - Mid Rig - Trowgrain Middle (sadly, the unremarkable dome west of the fence seems to be slightly higher than the splendid cairn by the fence) - Herman Law - Sandtrae Knowe - Cossars Hill and back by the single track road. A glorious day with views across both Moffatdale and Ettrickdale throughout the ridge walk.Nick Down117/06/2017
On way up to Andrewhinney Hill(qv for route details) from Capelgill. Makes sense because I could cross low col to Etterick Valley and walk the ridge back to Capelgillpwheeler13/04/1991
