Long Philip Burn Walking Path

Highlight (Segment) • River

This is a popular walking route along Long Philip Burn, through the Manor Hill Plantation.

There is an interesting stone bench to sit on at the eastern end of this segment with what I would call a 'classically Scottish' plaque telling you to "ease your shanks". This is a lovely, pleasant and scenic walk.

Red Score Nick Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is on the Southern Upland Way, a pass over the ridge from Selkirk to Yair. This is a very scenic area, with excellent views to the hill of the Three Brethren. Enjoy!

View of the Three Brethren

Highlight • Monument

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!

Southern Uplands Way at Brown Knowe

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Following the relentless, wooded slog to claim height from Innerliethen, you're rewarded with a contouring run across the tops with some spectacular views as you crest Brown Knowe and head towards Lucken Head. The trail is pretty easy going - well surfaced singletrack for the most part - although there's always the usual 'can get muddy when it rains' caveat. And, as the Southern Uplands Way is pretty popular, be wary of walkers.

Tibbie Tamson's Grave

Highlight • Monument

This is a remote grave of a woman called Tibbie, who committed suicide in 1790 after she was caught stealing. Back then, people thought she was a witch; times change, and nowadays people of Selkirk remember her affectionately.
