About Aithouse Burn
The Aithouse Burn trail offers a lovely walk through the forest with the burn for company. Growing alongside the burn are pine, larch and Norway spruce, these are some of the red squirrel's favourite trees for food and shelter.
How to get there:
Aithouse Burn can be started from Craik Car Park in Craik which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Hawick is the nearest town or village.
From Hawick, follow the A7 towards Carlisle.
At Martins Bridge, turn onto the B711 and follow this road until you come to Roberton, which is a very small village and school. Just beyond the school, turn down to the left and then follow the unclassified single track road. Craik Forest is well sign posted.
