A wee hill wander to another new viewpoint, Bizzyberry hill fort (363m).

Definitely a case of a walk hidden in plain sight as very little written about this amazing spot just outside Biggar. Locals probably like to keep this wee gem to themselves...

The short ridge has 2 hillforts and also Wallace's Well (now just a muddy puddle) just below the summit.... "tradition points out on the north side of Bizzyberry (or Bushyberry) a hollow rock and a spring called Wallace's seat and Wallace's well."

Access from main Edinburgh Road through woodland strip to side of the new houses (Pentland Reach).
