The Cross Keys Pub, Ancrum

Highlight • Pub

The Cross Keys is a friendly and welcoming, if not a little quirky, pub on the village green of Ancrum. They're more than used to catering for hungry and thirsty travellers and locals alike. Located a little off the beaten track yet not far from the spectacular town of Jedburgh and it's ancient Abbey, make sure you visit this pub if you're looking for some delicious refreshment.

Minto Village

Highlight • Settlement

This very serene village on the south side of the Minto Hills was originally designed by William Playfair as a village built for the 2nd Earl of Minto in early 19th century (to be precise, the village was entirely moved so that the Earl would not see it from his mansion!).

No shops in the village, but there is the Minto Church, where you will find a bench to rest on if this is what your weary feet desire.

Leyden's Monument on Denholm Green

Highlight • Historical Site

Leyden's Monument, crafted from Swinton sandstone with polished red Aberdeen granite columns, is an example of decorated gothic spire design.

Adorned with inscribed plaques, sculpted figures, and trefoil-headed arches, it stands as a tribute to John Leyden and his descendant John Lamb Leyden.
