Track junction at Hunters Knowe The track to the right is not shown on the 1:25,000 map, but it is likely to have been put in before bringing in the wind turbines to Bowbeat. The sign advises that the road is 'liable to icing'.

Road beside the Leithen Water The road is the main access route for the power station on Bowbeat Hill and the vast conifer plantations around the Leithen Water. It now runs on a new course to the right of Hunter's Knowe (the white building), and the hairpin shown on the maps has become overgrown.
