Dryhope tower - protection against border raiders

setting off on the walk after reading the board about the tower

looking back down onto St Mary's Loch

descending into the valley of Douglas Water

climbing out of the Douglas Water valley

rough going off the track on the diversion to Deuchar Law

a bit of sunshine coming off Deuchar Law

checking the wind speed ..

.. on the very windy top of Blake Muir

looking down on the valley of Quair Water

descending from Blake Muir with Innerleithen ahead

sunshine - note the Southern Upland Way marker post

the ridge of Fethan Hill

looking back up the ridge ..

.. and down the final stretch of path to Kirkhouse
