Stride into the Borders’ skyline — Three Brethren await with sweeping views and soul-stirring serenity!

In a first for GOC, we partner with Outdoorlads for this joint walk of around 6 miles. The Three Brethren are a trio of sixteenth century cairns situated on a 464m hill to the north-west of Selkirk, towering above the Yarrow, Ettrick and Tweed valleys. The cairns mark the boundary between the Yair, Philliphaugh and Selkirk burgh estates.

We plan to follow the route described in Walkhighlands.

Dogs: The walk is suitable for dogs, which must be kept under control at all times, particularly near livestock.

Photos: Apart from the leader's AI generated pic, the others were taken by Dave Archer on a previous walk in January 2015.
