Getting the sparkle back

Kirkhope Tower

This afternoon I did a triangular walk from Ettrickbridge to Kirkhope Tower, back to the main road at Kirkhope via Old Kirkhope and then along the main road back to Ettrickbridge. Kirkhope Tower is currently being renovated (although no-one was doing anything today), probably as a holiday let. I sat on a chair on a wooden platform part of the way up the front of the building and had some water while admiring the view. Old Kirkhope is a large house and is also being renovated by a whole team of builders.

The countryside was looking lovely as before and it was another mostly sunny day - I'm lucky over the weather, that's for sure. There was rather a lot of tarmac on the walk except for the first leg from Ettrickbridge to the tower which was a bit uneven under foot and there were new fences which made it not that easy to find the route. But altogether I was glad to have done it.
