Cauldstane Slap

 12 Ramblers set out on Wednesday, 19 July to walk to the Cauldstane Slap. The party started off from Baddinsgill passing Baddinsgill Reservoir on their right and headed along the Cross Border Drove Road which was used to move cattle from the Falkirk area into the Borders and England. A wooden bridge was crossed over a small river - Water of Leith whose source is at Colzium Springs. Onwards to the Cauldstane Slap with West Cairn and East Cairn hills on either side. The walkers then went a little further to enjoy views of Harperrig Reservoir and beyond. The walk was just over 6 miles. The weather was very kind with lovely views of the surrounding hills all the way.
