| The Dod | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 3rd Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 5 | The Dod, near Bugh Hill Stone Circle and Hillfort: It was amazing what could be seen of this site from the slope just below Burgh Hill Stone Circle. Looking at the plan on Canmore, it is cut in two by the syke by the farm to it's south, but what remains, looking at the settlement from the road, are... Read More |

The shops were shut and the town was almost deserted. Having visited some other sites on the southern side of Hawick, we decided to stop off to see this standing stone and cairn on the way ba...

| Midshiels Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Saw from a distance | 3rd Jun 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Midshiels Cairn, Hawick: See visit report for Midshiels Standing Stone (the two are 90 metres apart), sites entered separately as Canmore lists them individually. Couldn't get really close to the cairn - would have loved to have walked up to it, but there was a really big bull and lots of over-frie... Read More |

| Lord's Tree (Hawick) | Cairn | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 3rd Jun 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Lord's Tree Cairn, Hawick: We arrived in Hawick, intending to buy a map, but the majority of the shops (apart from the bookmakers, charity shops and 1 café, were closed (looking at the opening times, they largely shut at 2pm on a Saturday. The town seemed deserted apart from a few tourists. We lat... Read More |

| Ca Knowe (Hawick) | Cairn | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 3rd Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Ca Knowe Cairn, Hawick (aka Hero's Grave): Simply marked as ‘cairn’ on Trigpointing UK's OS map, we could see this cairn from Lord’s Tree Cairn. There is a proper tarmacked footpath up to the modern standing stone with plaque on it. Closer to, it is much larger than it appears from the mark ... Read More |

| Burgh Hill Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 3rd Jun 2017 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Burgh Hill Stone Circle, Hawick: After visiting Lord's Tree and Ca Knowe Cairns, we headed off towards Teviothead and some wild, lonely countryside. There is a track leading up the hill towards the stone circle (and the hill fort beyond), at NT 47365 06725, with parking for 2-3 cars opposite.

| Burgh Hill Hillfort | Hillfort | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 3rd Jun 2017 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Burgh Hill Hillfort, Scottish Borders: What is a 'bit more of a walk' for me is probably a 'short walk on a footpath' for others, but even so, this was a brilliant place to have visited.
With Burgh Hill Stone Circle (or possibly a cairn circle?) not far away, it was worth the additional short tre... Read More |
