天气慢慢好起来了，有车又喜欢徒步的童鞋，可以从冬眠中起来了。Dun Law Wind Farm在距离爱丁堡东南方向20miles地方，沿着A68开车半个小时不到就到了，如果天气好的话，那一路的风光都不错。不过大风车不让进，那么在Dun Law Wind Farm旁边不远的Fala Flow徒步路线就成了很好的选择。由于内陆风力发电场将慢慢停止使用而转向近海，所以想看的话就要抓紧啦。
没有车的话又想去的话，可以选择一个好天气，大家一起拼车去=)。或者：骑自行车去！（没有开玩笑，这个距离和风景，加上好天气，骑自行车是最爽的选择）。

To start, walk past the cemetery on the right and continue straight ahead under the power lines that traverse the landscape.
For the most part the area is a blanket bog where Heather, Bell Heather, Cotton Grass and Sundew are found. The remains of the Fala Luggie, a tower built in the 1600s, is visible to your right. It is thought to have been built in connection with the Roman road Watling Street as a look-out tower. On the other side of the path is a small loch known as Fala Flow which is believed by some to have no bottom as its waters are of a dark peaty colour. Looking past the loch on the horizon we see the Lammermuir Hills with the towers of the Dun Law Windfarm clearly visible. The remains of Soutra Aisle are also visible.
Soutra Aisle was an important mediaeval monastic complex comprising a hospital, monastery, and church and was founded by Malcolm IV of Scotland. The hospital was run by Augustinian monks, and is believed to have been the largest hospital in mediaeval Scotland. Investigations have discovered that the monks of the hospital were using treatments to treat patients far in advance than current day estimates have suggested. The hospital was also strategically positioned between the Scottish and English borders and dealt with many casualties of Scottish-English battles. The site also boasts a rich variety of wildlife from otters to migrating geese.
Before crossing Brothershiels Burn, you will come to a gate. Take care to close the gate behind you as this is grazing land. From here, the track can become wet. Proceed in a loop towards the linear end of the route which you should follow back to the beginning.
