Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED due to weather
We walk generally westward from the gatehouse for some 2 miles on an undulating track to reach a path high above Glensax. This path tales us southward by a stiff but manageable ascent over Birkscairn Hill and the eastern flank of Stake Law before dropping down to our lunch stop at the remote cottage at Glenshiel Banks.
From the cottage, we follow the burn downstream through a delightful ravine with waterfalls to Loch Eddy, and thence along the trackway by the Quair Water to the gatehouse, passing the Tennant Mausoleum. There are ample coffee options at the end of the walk in Innerleithen.
Circular walk, grade B+, strenuous. Boots and poles are recommended.
