Woodland at Scarlaw Looking east from the Fallago Rig Wind Farm access road, east of Twinlaw. Watch Water Reservoir can be seen through the trees, and the hill in the right distance is Dirrington Great Law [5.3km].

The Fallago Rig Wind Farm access road Heading north over the Lammermuir hills just over 320m [>1000feet]. Not the shortest route from 'civilization' but much better for the local communities.

Road to Scarlaw Although tarmacked this is not a public road. Part of the Southern Upland Way and also the most easterly route of the Herring Road. This is the view west just after leaving the fishery at Watch Water Reservoir, and in the distance you can just make out Twin Law, though not the cairns on this hill.
