007.15 | A well known hill in Selkirk Parish and about 5 miles in a north west direction from the Town of Selkirk the sides are abrupt towards the north and west, it is covered with Heathy Pasture and affords pasturage for grazing Sheep. on the top of this Mountain stood at one time a large stone pile said to have been erected as a memorial by Three Brethren from whom the Hill was named others assert that the Pile or Cairn was erected over the Graves of Three Brothers who were interred on that spot, but from neither tradition or History can it be learned who these Three Brethren were. the story being entirely a local one. The most probable supposition is that the name originated in the general appearance of the Three Brethren and one on either side of it (being) Broomy Law and Hareshaw Hill. these Hills present three distinct Summits, yet these are in a manner connected with each other, by a high ridge of land. slightly depressed below the Summits |
