Scottish Mysteries.(Eildon)

HEAD FOR THE HILLS

The Roman army placed a lookout and signal station on Eildon North Hill in the Scottish Borders almost 2,000 years ago, but we’re not sure who they were watching out for. Hundreds of years later, Thomas the Rhymer was said to have been sitting beneath the Eildon Tree near Melrose when the Fairy Queen whisked him away to a hollow in the hills and off to her world.
