Day 4. ST BOSWELLS - WALKERBURN 17ml(27km)
Aslight detour is required if you wish to visit the majestic ruined Dryburgh Abbey in its tranquil setting by the wide River Tweed. Journey on to the next border abbey at Melrose and from there on the cyclepath to Galashiels where a visit to Lochcarron Visitor Centre to see the working cashmere mill is recommended. Leaving Galashiels the route again follows the Tweed to cross the river at Walkerburn.                     Dryburgh Abbey>>>>>>

Day 5. WALKERBURN - DALKEITH 28ml(45km)

It is only a short distance from Walkerburn to Innerleithen for a visit to the old Robert Small's Printing Works and St Ronan's Wells. The scenic climb from Innerleithen over the Moorfoot Hills is gradual but six miles long!

Day 6. DALKEITH - EDINBURGH 13/20ml(21/32km)

It is only a short ride into Edinburgh on the cycle path but it is well worth making a diversion from Dalkeith to visit medieval Rosslyn Chapel.
