Bonchester Hill Cairn

Highlight • Historical Site

This hill (323m), with a cairn, overlooks the village of Bonchester Bridge; it is also the site of a fort, so of archeological interest.

Stunning views of the area from up here: you will see the summits of Rubers Law and Black Law, but I am sure the Eildon Hills will draw your keen eyes first!

Hobkirk Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The first church on this site is believed to have been built in the 12th century; the present one was built in the 19th. Apparently, this church contains some of the oldest church stones in Scotland. Also, in the churchyard, there are sections of walls that are thought to be the remains of a medieval church here.

Lots of interesting history stuff here!
