Marilyn · Borders

Grange Fell

Only 319m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone in the Tweed valley of the Scottish Borders. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.

Standard route

A short, accessible walk via drovers roads and old rights of way in the Cheviot foothills to the 319m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.

Terrain

Rolling farmland and open moorland. The Borders hills are the most walkable in Scotland — gentle gradients and firm ground.

In winter

Borders winters are gentle by Scottish standards. Snow is infrequent and rarely deep. These hills are walkable year-round with standard gear.
