We'd originally done this walk about 4 years ago, before WBH was thought of. Neither of us could really remember it, so it seemed like a good idea to refresh our memories. From Lauder, the route goes through the grounds of Thirlestane Castle (..I wouldn't like to have to heat it....) and up to Wanton Walls, then over the increasingly moor-like ground up to Scoured Rig. Braidshawrig is as far out into the wilds as you get, then it is back towards Bermuda and then across the hill to the summit of Dabshead Hill with the angle pinnacle of rock on top.
From here, Lauder looks miles away, but is only about an hour or less through the woods and back along the same route through the Castle grounds. The Flat Cat Gallery provides excellent coffee at the end of it as well (plus some oddly-named Toffee Lumpy Bumpy Cake, which despite the name was delicious....)
