170 REPORT OF THE MEETINGS FOR 1897 



the central Lammermoors as seen from the heights above Kilpallet 

 are singularly impressive. At Kilpallet the party took leave of 

 Mr Darling, to whom they had been much indebted for informa- 

 tion and guidance, and at Longformacus Mr Stephenson and his 

 friends were also parted with. Duns was reached a little before 

 seven o'clock, after a drive of about thirty-five miles. Those 

 members who had come from the west drove straight from 

 Johnscleugh to Duns by Cranshaws and Ellemford, and thus 

 missed the striking scenery of the Kilpallet route. The weather 

 throughout the day was most propitious ; and under a clear sky 

 and soft sunshine the entire range of the central Lammermoors 

 was seen to the best advantage.
