Hut by the old railway from Lauder

A wooden hut by the route, which closed in 1958. It is now a footpath for another 500m but on the map does not appear to continue through the farmland. The railway ran from the Waverley Line at Fountainhall through the hills to Oxton and southwards to Lauder. It opened in 1901 but passenger services ceased in 1932 and the line officially closed in 1958 - see Link

for further details.

Wide grassy track, Inchkeith Hill

According to the local walks guide (Walks Around Lauder, Lauderdale Paths Network 2006) this is an old drove road, recognisable by the width enclosed between parallel stone walls.
