789 mNorth of Pulpit Law Another moorland square. Grouse is the main "crop" here along with a few sheep. There is a complex mosaic of heather ages through burning. I imagine vermin control is rigorous here, as there is a large population of waders and even evidence of mallard breeding on the moor. As usual in the Lammermuir Hills, walking is fast and easy here.
