As mentioned in beta there are peregrine nesting on second pitch of Flodden. Please avoid for time being. 

150m, 4 pitches. A coveted route, yet one of the least repeated of the Scottish Hard Rock list.
Mostly a slab climb, but with interesting sections throughout. Pitch one is often traversed too low, close to the lower lip (as seen in pictures), however the original line goes higher up on the larger slab above that leads direct to the corner of pitch 2.

βeta: Peg may be long gone but I got a good wire in its place. Green offset equivalent to walnut 2.
