New Cairn

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is worth stopping at this cairn to admire the views in all directions - back to the north toward Galashiels and then to the south to Yair Hill Forest. Beautiful!

Tip by

9.14 km

One of the best, if not the best, summit views in the Scottish Borders. Panoramic views wherever you look. On a clear day, the Eildon Hills are clearly visible, and the hills of Ettrick Forest are basically everywhere. Gorgeous! A word of warning... if you are climbing from Yair up here, it's a steep one!
