Summit of the Waverley Line between Edinburgh and the Gala Water. Here a low gap in the Southern Upland scarp allows transport routes through without a moorland crossing. The railway was closed in 1969 and is due to reopen, but who will be able to afford the fares?

Dist:1.4km north<br/>The Southern Uplands start here. A fault divides the limestones and coal measures of the Midlothian plateau from the hill country to the south. This is a low bit, a sort of no-man's-land between the Lammermuir and Moorfoot Hills. Don't worry, they don't shoot, the zigzag command refers to pothole dodging on the farm drive.
