Lammermuir moorland Enjoy while you can. Wild moorland areas like this would have national park status in the neighbouring county, but here it is fair game for the subsidy grubbers. Looking towards the site of the Fallago Rig wind farm.

Gate, pylon road A gate and now disused cattle grid on the power line service road. I have noticed several filled in cattle grids along the road, it seems that gates are preferred.

Heading to the High Point Climbing up the track that traverses the west side of the Lammermuirs heading north to eventually emerge at Stobshiel. The high point of the track is on the East Lothian/Scottish Borders border and is about where the 2nd pylon is.
