| Venchen Farm Cottages (Town Yetholm) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Venchen Farm Cottages Standing Stone, Scottish Borders: Having left home to avoid days of damp, rainy weather, we went in search of sunshine and blue skies. The further we travelled up the A68, the more obvious it became that the grey skies got darker the more northerly we got. As we reached Town Y... Read More |

| Virtue Well (Yetholm) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 2 | 2 | 4 | Virtue Well, Yetholm: From Venchen Farm Cottages Standing Stone, by the time we drove back down to the west side of the road bridge over Bowmont Water at NT 82132 28576, and parked at a little layby just before the road junction, the rain had eased off a little.
There were two routes up to the w... Read More |

| Sheilknowe Burn Enclosure | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 1 | 3 | 4 | Shielknowe Enclosure, Yetholm: From the Virtue Well we made our way to Kirk Yetholm, finding the small side road which is actually the Pennine Way, but which can be driven down to a small parking area beside where the Halter Burn and Shielknowe Burn meet. Here a footbridge leads over the Burn, the P... Read More |

| Shielknowe Burn Scooped Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Shielknowe Burn Scooped Settlement, Yetholm: This scooped settlement, lying on the northern side of Shielknowe Burn is much easier to see, and is visible from Shielknowe Enclosure, cut by the fence which also cuts the Enclosure. The muddy track from Shielknowe Enclosure runs downhill, crosses the b... Read More |

| Green Humbleton Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Green Humbleton Scooped Settlement, Yetholm: Now this was a settlement I could get excited about, and what views! If the first two enclosures on the way up here were somewhat dull, this more than made up for it! To the north and east the land dropped steeply away to Humbleton Syke and to the west G...

| Stob Stones | Standing Stones | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Stob Stones, Scottish Borders: From the Green Humbleton Scooped Settlement, by the time we started climbing up towards the Stob Stones, not only was the wind was howling and I was leaning hard into it, but the rain drops were like small pins being driven into my cheeks. I confess to getting a bit f... Read More |

| Stob Rig (Yetholm) | Misc. Earthwork | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Stob Rig Earthworks: On the way up to the Stob Stones from the Pennine Way, there were two really obvious earthworks running in parallel towards the stones and we walked between them to reach the stones. I was keen to try and get out of the wind and the rain (almost impossible in this high, exposed ... Read More |

| Green Humbleton Hillfort | Hillfort | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Saw from a distance | 6th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Green Humbleton Hillfort: Having been virtually blown off the hillside at Green Humbleton Scooped Settlement on our way up the Pennine Way, we decided we’d visit the Stob Stones first and see if the wind died down on our way back. If the wind was bad on Stob Rig, then what would it be like on th... Read More |

| Ad Gefrin | Ancient Palace | England | Northumberland | Visited | 6th Aug 2017 | 1 | 4 | 5 | Ad Gefrin, Northumberland (near Yeavering): Trying to dry out from the walk to the Stob Stones, we decided to go back via Wooler and the A687 rather than back down the A68, passing Yeavering Bell on our way. Driving north, I was surprised to find we re-entered England from Scotland, back into North... Read More |
