About Eildon Hill National Scenic Area

Eildon Hill is located near Melrose, Scottish Borders. The hill has three peaks, the mid one with a height of 422 metres (1385 feet) being the tallest. The northern peak is surrounded by more than 5 km (3.1 miles) of prehistoric walls, framing a surface of about 16 ha (40 acres) in which at least 300 staired slopes have been cropped into rock to supply bases for turf or wood-walled buildings. The hills are hedged by a vast area of woodlands, home to wildlife species such as roe deer, badgers, foxes and stoats.
