Former Waverley Line and A68 road
Here the A68 cuts across the former railway route to Hawick and Carlisle. Across the road is the entrance to Old Melrose and the tearoom at the former Ravenswood dairy.
Path to Eildon village
A gate near the A68 for a path signposted to Eildon; it follows a field edge towards a mobile phone mast, then to Eildon Mains farm.
Sheep and Black Hill
Sheep grazing in a pasture near Eildon with Black Hill (314m) beyond. Like the nearby Eildon Hills, this is of volcanic origin.
Path to Eildon village - just!
A heavily overgrown stretch of path near Eildon. Overhanging nettles and brambles would make this a severe test for anyone misguided enough to be wearing shorts.
The Temple of the Muses
Is a tribute to James Thomson, a Borders poet who loved the natural world.
Thomson lived from 1700 to 1748. His poems were popular long after his death: the Earl of Buchan, who was a great admirer of his work, had the Temple built in 1817.
The bust of James Thomson remains on top of a pinnacle above the temple.

The Muses at the Temple
The Temple originally contained a statue of Apollo which disappeared many years ago and was replaced by this modern statue by local artist Siobhan O'Hehir.
