    It is worth stopping at this cairn to admire the views in all directions - back to the north toward Galashiels and then to the south to Yair Hill Forest. Beautiful!

      At just under 980 feet (300 metres), this cairn provides great views over Galashiels and Balmoral. Lower than some of the more famous hiking spots, it makes for a great hike that can be completed in a couple of hours.

      The Galashiels/Tweedbank area is a haven for hiking in Scotland, with multiple great peaks in one area. Galashiels is easily accessible by train so it's a fantastic place to start a hike up the New Cairn.
