Crock Law

Old milestone This milestone, about ½ mile from the end of tarmac at Cocklawfoot used to stand much higher. In 2019 it was reported lying fully exposed on the banking on the opposite side of the road. Fortunately it has been set back on its correct side, the east, although well sunken. This stone has H/11½ on its left face with the mileage under the soil level. KELSO, sloping upwards, with 15, not visible, is on the right. It was hoped that there might be more milestones on the track, Clennell Street, over to Alwinton and Harbottle but none were found on the 2½ mile walk up to the border with England.

Gateway out of forest near Cocklawfoot, Kelso Snowfields on western aspects courtesy of 'The Beast from the East'- a week or so of bitter easterlies out of Siberia so dubbed by the media. A reversal of the jet stream consequent to sudden warming at stratospheric level (at 30km there was a 50c temperature rise) saw Siberian air push across the North Atlantic as far as Greenland.
