Towards Drumbarton Hill Most of this view is in this square, but the summit of the hill is in the next square. A few minutes earlier, the sheep had all been on the lower ground, but they moved away at a spanking pace, even before I got anywhere near them.

Dubston Farm Dubston stands a few metres above the floor of the glen. There was forestry work going one there and we were a little concerned that we would have to go through it, but just as we were crossing the burn to take the road that goes round the left of the far, the farmer happened to arrive, stopped the tractor, and suggested that we take a short cut across the stubble field and thus avoid the foresters altogether.

Esset Burn Looking upstream from the bridge that takes the Dubston road across the burn. The cottage is at Terpersie Farm and there is just a glimpse of the castle beyond.
