Well done, that was a great walk. The large mast on Keoch Rig was not there early last year and is what is put up to assess wind speed for another wind farm. Sometimes I despair at the developments in Glen Afton - when I first visited only Windy Standard and Hare Hill had turbines......... Good luck...

An amazing walk and well done, but can I gently point out that the Black Craig that you climbed ( north of Coran of Portmark and overlooking Loch Doon) at 528m, is neither a Donald or a Graham. The Donald /Graham of Black Craig is off Glen Afton and not far from New Cumnock - if you had included tha...

Seen above Hopetoun Craig on 22 June, a large unkindness of ravens:

However, for rest of the walk around the Ettrick Horseshoe from Bodesbeck Law to Ettrick Pen we were exultantly listening to an exaltation of skylarks.
