009.03 | This hill rises as abruptly from the North as it descends towards the South, and extends in an oblong and regular from through several fields from N E [North East] to S W. [South West] The higher part of the hill is covered with a circular plantation, where it is supposed, in former times the Gallows were erected and Criminals executed, from which the name is evidently derived. It remains a question of interest whether this place of judgement had any relation with the town of Kelso, or the now extinct Barony of Brox in which it was situated. |

Ordnance Survey - Roxburgh county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Roxburgh, which is in the south east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
