Overview

From the hamlet of Tweedsmuir the walk takes us via Hearthstane before crossing the road towards Kindalores then recrossing the road to pass by The Patervan Farm and following the track to Drumelzier via Stanhope. Good tracks and paths

Note: there is a deep slippery burn to cross (poles would help balance) and gates to climb over.
