Beautiful ascending and descending road through the Moorfoot Hills, a hilly mountain range that is especially purple in summer when the heather is in bloom. Relatively quiet road with beautiful views of Edinburgh on the north side.

Long but gentle climb out of Innerleithen. Great views.

This climb is so rewarding. Mile by mile your eyes are drawn to crystal clear streams, emerald grass and unbroken cobalt skies. Fuel yourself up at Innerleithen first at one of its fantastic cafes.
