Dist:0.6km<br/>Flowing between the gorse bushes, the burn is seen from a layby beside the A6088. There is a story about how I came to be parked in this layby. Whilst driving north to Edinburgh on the A68 - a route chosen because it goes through family ancestral territory - The car developed an interesting scraping sound under braking. Initially I suspected a small stone trapped in the brake shoes but as it got worse I decided to head for the nearest large town, Hawick, via the A6088. I stopped in this layby to check for any visual signs of the cause and decided to take a photo while I was there. Subsequently in Hawick a mechanic specialising in farm machinery diagnosed the fault as failed straking on the offside front wheel which he repaired, allowing us to continue our journey via the A698.
