This monument is visible from much of the Southern Borders. It stands alone on a hill that is not ideally accessible as its a long walk with little in the way of markings. However if you have the energy to try, it has commanding views and is a lovely spot. It was built by a local landowner to commemorate the eponymous battle.
Wiki Description
A GUIDE TO THE SCOTTISH BORDERS - Four years ago we left Trinidad in the warm Caribbean, and migrated to Scotland to the Border area of Eildon, Walter Scott (of Ivanhoe and Rob Roy fame) lived here. Its a beautiful area, varying from soft rolling hills with hidden valleys, to rough moorland high up and bleak. Its quiet and calm here and we love it. This blog will be my diary of our adventures and our recommendations of places to visit and eat and explore.
