Smailholm Tower
Sightseeing in Scotland picture - Before calling it quits for the day we stopped at Smailholm tower which stands on top of Sandyknowe Crag, above Sandyknowe farm, where Sir Walter Scott was a frequent visitor to his grandfather, Robert Scott. The stories of Smailholm (and many other Border locations) became the inspiration for many of his stories and ballads. He described Smailholm as "standing stark and upright like a warden".
