Thief Road was named after the Moss Troopers, lawless brigands who used to attack innocent civilians here.

This stretch is on the Borders Abbeys Way long-distance trail. It can be overgrown in places (but nothing too impossible). Before the route descends to the Woll Golf Course in the valley, there are fabulous views from above, also overlooking Woll Burn.
