The walk starts at Abbey St Bathans, which is an estate village founded many hundreds of years ago. It climbs up an access road (with scenic diversions) and follows a waymarked path across the side of Cockburn Law, to Edin's Hall Broch, an ancient and well-preserved monument with interpretation boards. It then descends to the Whiteadder Water, eventually crossing it on a spectacular suspension bridge (not suitable for the faint of heart!).
The walk joins a country road and climbs up to Blakestone Moor, a cultivated moorland, before dropping through farmland and down a valley. Here it joins the Southern Upland Way long-distance path and leads back to Abbey St Bathans, finally crossing a spectacular cantilever bridge, leading right back to the start.
