| Talla Linnfoots | Cairn | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Saw from a distance | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Cairn & Enclosure at south eastern end of Talla Reservoir: Our first, proper, stop of the day, as I can’t count the visit to Tweedmuir Kirk, as the stone we saw from from the 1600s.
This is a remote, but very pretty spot, albeit with tall, brooding hills around, only tempered by the gentle tric... Read More |

| Megget Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Megget Stone, east of Talla Reservoir: Continuing along the twisty, windy road that follows Talla Water, we passed an intrepid cyclist making his way slowly up the hills, and some motorcyclists who had stopped to photographs the waterfalls along the route.
When we got to the grid reference given ... Read More |

| Patervan Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Saw from a distance | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Patervan/Polmood Settlement, just west of Patervan Farm Cottage: After the Meggat Stone, we stopped off at Henderland Chapel (aka Chapel Knowe and Cockburn’s Tombstone) at NT 23112 23414, which was well worth a look, but too modern for the Portal!
This settlement is (almost!) easily reached. ... Read More |

| Patervan Cairn, Buildings & Mound | Cairn | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Patervan Cairn, Buildings & Prehistoric Mound, Scottish Borders: There is actually a rich archaeological landscape around here, although I’m pleased we’ve been out with an Archaeology Group, or I would have had trouble interpreting what we saw. We passed all of these features, all of which are ... Read More |

| Laigh Hill (Tweeddale) | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Laigh Hill Settlement, below Norman's Castle, Scottish Borders: I was really looking forward to seeing this large settlement on the slopes of Laigh Hill, with the River Tweed to the south below.
The walk was easy, along a track, and only 400m past the Patervan Mound. Leaving the track and foll... Read More |

| Norman's Castle | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Norman's Castle, Laigh Hill, Patervan: Strictly, I only saw this dun from a distance, as it was scramble to get to the top of the hill, and my fear of falling kept me on Laigh Hill settlement below. Husband, Andrew, with all the skills of a mountain goat, and no fear of heights, went tramping up wi... Read More |

| Dreva Hill West (Broughton) | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Dreva Hill West, Broughton, Scottish Borders: To the east of the road, there is a gate leading to a farm track, which we followed for about 100m then headed up towards the mast. In typical Tate fashion, Andrew had muddled up the entries for Dreva Craig Fort and this settlement, so I spent ages phot... Read More |

| Stobo Kirk standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 12th Jul 2018 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Stobo Kirk, Scottish Borders: This was the highlight of my visit. A church I’ve wanted to see for a long, long time, and I thought I’d better grab the chance whilst we were nearby. As we drew up outside the church, my heart sank, as it looked just like another austere Church of Scotland church.... Read More |
