Overview

This walk follows the John Buchan Way from Stobo, up the Easton Burn. After reaching an old farm ruin and crossing the burn, the route leaves the John Buchan Way and heads around Tarcreish and down to the reservoir fed by the Hopehead Burn. The walk then follows the valley back down to Home Farm and the start of the walk.
