A Walk from Byreburn to Rowanburn

A local walk today to enable several of us who are busy to fulfil afternoon appointments. We started at Byreburnfoot and headed up the Fairy Loup and on to Rowanburnhead and Rowanburn where we stopped for a break and to spend some money in Scotland's smallest shop.

This must be Scotland's smallest shop with a lovely selection of food on offer. I bought an Apple Sponge Cake which we tasted in the garden at an afternoon tea break and it was lovely. It works on an honesty basis but there is a camera so we were being watched but I left a little bit more than was needed.

Near Rowanburn we met this pair of good friends

I always think this is one of the finest views on the River Esk from just outside Byreburn House. Look for the Heron sitting in a tree in the centre of the picture. The walk was 6 miles and we finished up at the Buccleuch Centre for a nice lunch.
