A broad area, the higher hills could be said to generally split into three sections: those directly south of Peebles, those north of the Megget Reservoir and those southeast of Drumelzier. There is, however, a section of lower hills east of the B709 road as well as some isolated hills throughout. The highest point of the range is Broad Law, which is also the highest point in the historic county of Peeblesshire. The hills contain five Marilyns and thirteen Donalds, of which there is one Graham and one Corbett.[2]
In a roughly clockwise direction, the hills in the range over 2,000 feet (609.6 metres) (excluding tops) are as follows:
The Southern Upland Way passes through the eastern end of the range, coming close to the summit of Minch Moor; this is the second highest point of the route after the Lowther Hills.[17]
