Here are 25 walks in the Lammermuir, Moorfoot and Tweedsmuir Hills, an area steeped in history and legend. It is a land of bright waters, wide moorland, rounded hills and forested glens. The walks lead to ancient burial grounds, prehistoric hill forts and romantic Border abbeys, as well as the haunts of Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg and John Buchan around the Tweed and Ettrick valleys and St Mary's Loch. This new edition brings the walker fully up-to-date with new developments in the area, including walks linked to the Southern Upland Way and recently opened routes in this paradise for ramblers. The 25 Walks books are practical guides and attractive souvenirs. Written by experienced authors, they can be used with confidence. The carefully selected local walks are accompanied by easy-to-use maps and colour photographs.
