Known for kites (or gleds – hence the name) on the moorland, it was crossed by the old Post Road to London (the old a1) and offers views on a clear day across the Firth of Forth and arable farmland to Ben Lomond and the grampians in the north; the garleton hills, north Berwick Law and the Bass Rock to the east; the Lammermuirs to the south and the Pentlands to the west.
