5/5)About Three Brethren Trail
This is the longest walk in Yair forest, taking you up to the Three Brethren cairns which were built in the 1500s by the lairds of Yair, Selkirk and Philiphaugh to mark the boundary of their land.
How to get there:
Three Brethren Trail can be started from Lindinney Car Park in Yair which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Selkirk / Galashiels is the nearest town or village.
