Up via Birks Farm then follow track round NE end of Birks Hill which was possibly a mistake as it didn't continue upwards. Leave it and up through heather to summit then along well worn paths to Dun Rig. Retrace steps to col SW of Birkscairn Hill and follow track south until slope to the east lessens and can descend down ATV track and then grassy slopes and sheep tracks to near the Kill Burn. Cross it then along and through Gentle's Wood most of which had been felled making progress difficult until we found the track running along the lower edge nearer the stream. Once back at car was approached by a young lad coming down behind us who asked 'Where am I?". We pointed the mapless, hapless lad towards the main road and told him how to get to Traquair He'd started from Cardrona.
