Surroundings
The Cauldstane Slap, a formerly important pass route, runs between East and West Cairn Hill. With a maximum height of , it connects West Lothian with the Scottish Borders. There is a cairn near the eastern crest of the East Cairn Hills. This measures at a height of two meters. The cairn was disturbed by a build-up. When it was opened again in the early 20th century, bone fragments and flint ax tips were found. In front of the western flank is the Harperrig Reservoir. Established in 1860, the reservoir dams the water of the Water of Leith and serves both to supply Edinburgh with water and to regulate the flow of the Water of Leith. ==References==
