In the footsteps of giants

Cattle have roamed this path for hundreds of years. This is the Thieves' Road that passes to the South of the Pentland Hills and was a favoured route of the Borders Reivers as they returned home with the hairy beasties that they had stolen from the highland glens.

A pretty wet day here today, but full of interest none the less.

1) The rock carvings on the summit of Craigengar
2) The man in a suit & tie I met in a very remote spot with a clipboard in his hand who was walking the boundary of North Slipperfield estate. He still had over 40kms to do and it was only 2 hours till dark - I don't think so!
3) The ringed bird that I found that had been killed by flying into a fence. What is the chance of me crossing the fence at the very point the bird struck??
