My second visit, as before up ENH from the Rhymer Stone and back, however today time did not permit a trip out to EWH, the smaller and less interesting hill of the 3. Fabulous autumn weather, trees in all their autumnal glory, bracken turning golden brown, bright and sunny and fantastic visibility in all directions. Is this or Dirrington Great Law the best view point between the Border and the Forth? Can't decide...

Been a while since last up here, bagged today when across to watch the Eildon Hill Race. Parked at loch to the west and an easy walk up to the saddle between the Mid and North hills then up the path to watch the runners go through before continuing to the summit. Great day with extensive views.

Final TP of a 3 trig day and a beautiful evening walk over the the 3 Eildon Hills, a group of hills that have been on my "to do" list for long enough. Parked in Melrose and did a circular walk initially following St Cuthbert's Way to coll between this one and the North Hill, then the path to Wester Hill before returning over Mid Hill and this TP and then onto North Hill before descending east and then North to join the Borders Abbeys Way back to Melrose.

Parked in the beautiful little village of Bowden and walked north following the St Cuthbert Way. A steep gravel path to the summit. This pillar stands proud commanding fantastic panoramic views. Spider is missing. Adjacent is a bronze plaque that points out all the major surrounding hills. 2 hour round walk back to the car.

BBC weather forecast said "low cloud and cool" but on the way up and on the top it was clear blue skies and hot. A while since we were last up here and today there was heather in flower on the lower slopes, although higher up it was past its best. Great views today and deserving of a 10 rating.

Had planned to travel up to Argyll to do a Corbett, but the car started playing up as we were going along the A1 through Berwickshire, so we turned round and were headed back, then the car sorted itself out, but we'd lost the momentum of the day, and decided to visit the Eildons instead. Really glad we did, a great 'short day' in the hills.

3rd visit. The Eildon Hills dominate the Central Borders. Topograph next to trig pillar. Land used for grazing. Trig pillar in good order, but the spider is missing its cap (stolen since 19/05/1990) and the centre hole is being filled with debris. All four sighting holes open, also filled with debris. Flush bracket faces ENE. Views to almost everywhere in the Borders and beyond. Nearby notables include: Black Hill NT72, Rubers Law, Minto Hill, and Meigle Hill.

I visited this as a quick detour, while walking St. Cuthbert's Way. The visibility was very poor, alas...

Climbed up to the summit of Mid Hill whilst on a walk between Melrose & St Boswells on part of the St. Cuthbert's Way. A great viewpoint to get a more detailed look at the surrounding area.

Great views from the top on a clear day. Bagged the pillar on my way to the nearby cache. Forgot to take camera with though - doh! Missed a chance for some great photos.

The Eildon Hills dominate the Central Borders. Topograph next to trig pillar. Land used for grazing. Trig pillar in good order, but the spider is missing its cap and the centre hole is being filled with debris. All four sighting holes open, also filled with debris. Flush bracket faces ENE. Views to almost everywhere in the Borders and beyond. Nearby notables include: Black Hill NT72, Rubers Law, Minto Hill, and Meigle Hill. Visited and photographed 7/08/2004, GRP.

The views from this pillar are fantastic in virtually every direction. One of three hills, all three summits are worth visiting, as is Melrose in the valley below.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 7th June 1953 costing £31.8s.0d. In 1957 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NT72/9 in the Jedburgh block. Flush bracket S7474 was levelled for height in 1958. This station was last maintained by the OS September 1986. Long views in all directions. This top is easily identified from afar too.
