The village of Denholm is about 6 miles northeast of Hawick. The gates and railings which used to run along the side of the Denholm Green (to the left of picture) were requisitioned in WWII. In the 19th century circus animals passing through the village used to take water from a trough beside where the phone box (which is marked on the larger-scale map) now stands.
