Horse statue, Hawick
Image: © kim traynor Taken: 25 Jun 2013
Statue commemorating the successful repulse of an English raid in 1514, a year after the battle of Flodden. It seems the men of Hawick salvaged some Scottish honour not long after the kingdom's most disastrous military defeat (though I suspect Borderers would claim it as theirs alone). While the Hawick dialect is known to be tricky, not to say impenetrable to outsiders, the inscription on this statue seems positively Klingon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teribus_ye_teri_odin
