Hiking
One of the best, if not the best, summit views in the Scottish Borders. Panoramic views wherever you look. On a clear day, the Eildon Hills are clearly visible, and the hills of Ettrick Forest are basically everywhere. Gorgeous! A word of warning... if you are climbing from Yair up here, it's a steep one!

Fabulous views from up here; one of the most amazing views from a hill in the Scottish Borders - panoramic splendour anywhere you look!
If you are wondering why there are three cairns here, these were put in the 1500s to mark the meeting of the estate lands belonging to the lairds of Selkirk, Philliphaugh and Yair.

The three tall cairns named the Three Brethren were built in the 16th century to signal the boundaries of three estates; Buccleuch, Yair, and Selkirk Burgh. The summit is one of the Scottish Borders' most iconic climbs at 1,526 feet (465 metres).
