Waterloo Monument

Waterloo Monument

The Waterloo Monument near Ancrum in the Scottish Borders is a 150 foot tower, built between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo [http://www.scottishbordersheritage.co.uk/heritage/lastdetails.jsp?id=110] Waterloo Monument.] .

The monument stands on Peniel Heugh, OS ref: NT 653263, a hill between Ancrum and Nisbet. Although technically on private land, walkers may park at the Harestanes Visitor Centre and then follow the marked walk to the top of the hill. The tower is not open to the public, however a sign just beyond the locked metal grill at the base of the tower can be seen inside, warning that visitors enter at their own risk.
