English: The Colterscleuch Monument A striking 13m high monument on Dryden Knowes and eye-catching from the A7 Hawick-Langholm road. Erected in 1874 in memory of the Revd Henry Scott Riddell, who lived in the adjacent Teviothead Cottage and was minister at Teviothead from 1831. A small plaque by the entrance door reads:
