Comb Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Roxburghshire, in the southeastern part of Scotland. Situated close to the village of Morebattle, it forms part of the Cheviot Hills range. With an elevation of 352 meters (1,155 feet), Comb Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes, covered in lush green vegetation, which provide excellent opportunities for hiking and walking enthusiasts. The terrain is relatively easy to navigate, making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. As visitors ascend the hill, they can enjoy the peacefulness and tranquility of the countryside, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

At the summit of Comb Hill, there is a cairn, a man-made pile of stones, which serves as a marker and adds to the charm of the landscape. The cairn is a popular spot for visitors to rest and take in the stunning vistas, including views of the nearby Cheviot Hills and the rolling countryside of Roxburghshire.

Comb Hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, mammals, and plant species, which adds to the ecological diversity of the area. It is not uncommon to spot birds of prey, such as buzzards and kestrels, soaring above the hill, as well as rabbits and deer grazing in the surrounding fields.

Overall, Comb Hill provides an idyllic setting for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
