Late afternoon dog walk. I love this view, looking across north Northumberland to the Borders and the three peaks of the Eildon.

On those distant slopes, Thomas the Rhymer met the fairy queen (or 'queen of an unco' land' as she was in the oldest version we have) and went with her into the hills.

There, many years later, Canobie Dick tried and failed to wake the sleeping King Arthur in a torchlit chamber under the same hills.

A landmark visible from virtually every raised point in the whole region and easily identifiable, no wonder it was used as the site of a Bronze and later Iron Age settlement, then the Roman fort of Trimontium, and went down in legend as a place of magic and mystery.

Rainbow over Eildon Mid Hill, a year ago. It was unbelievably windy up on the tops.

There's a Bronze Age cairn on the upper slopes of Eildon Mid Hill, and an Iron Age hillfort on Eildon Hill North (on the right).
