Tourist Guide

The Henry Scott Riddell Monument. It had been an overcast day but while travelling on the A7 towards Hawick, the sun came out for a few minutes and highlighted the monument on Dryden Knowes at Teviothead, against a heavy sky. The 13m high cairn was erected in 1874 in memory of the poet Henry Scott Riddell. For a closer view of the monument and inscription details, see 378497.
