Six weeks ago Mike and I walked this Borders Drovers Road on a beautiful summers day and we were very impressed with it. Charlie was unavailable that day so we were determined to take him to Hawick to see it for himself. The best part is the mile long Drove road which has 2 drystone dykes flanking it. Between the drystone dykes there are a multitude of wild flowers and today it was a huge quantity of Berries and Sloes
It is a well sheltered road and a pleasure to walk along
This Elder tree was full of Elderberry fruit.
This beautiful Highland Cow was not a bit bothered by our presence
Another Elderberry Tree
The downhill section of the Drove Road
Another prominent fruit was Rosehips
This was a Hawthorn and Elder intwined together and very old
Rosehips and Sloes
More Rosehips. We had a lovely walk and came back to The Buccleuch Centre for our coffee and were served within a minute of walking in the door as we have the same order every Thursday.
