Looking to east from main path the moraines on the side of the Ettrick Hills can be seen. Probably lateral moraines.

The main features are the trip up to Loch Skene (also spelt Skeen), the highest freshwater loch in Scotland, the trip down towards Birkhill and the opportunity to visit an important geological and palaeontological site at Dob’s Linn.
