View north from Burnt Plantation near Denholm in The Scottish Borders Only two of The Eildon Hills can be seen. The lowest Eildon would not be prominent from this angle in any case even had The Minto Hills not been obscuring it.

William Leggat's statue, Cavers Church The story behind William Leggat is given in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/251778">NT5315 : The William Leggat Statue</a>. He took a dislike to the statue and gave it a kick, damaging the dog&#039;s left ear. It&#039;s interesting to think that this man would have been completely forgotten had the statue not been repaired and re-erected here.
