Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Waterloo Monument This 46m (150 feet) high monument on Peniel Heugh was constructed between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo (1815). It stands on the site of a fortified settlement and is one of the best known man-made features in the central Borders. The monument was started in 1815, but collapsed in 1816 during the course of construction, and an estate worker brought the news to his feudal lord, "yon muckle stane has fallen". The timber cap-house was added in 1867, but there is no access to the tower in the interests of public safety. (Source: Borders and Berwick, An Architectural Guide by Charles Alexander Strang). |
