Linbriggs from south bank of River Coquet
The hill above the farm (unnamed) terminates the ridge south-west of Green Side. The old historian of Coquetdale, David Dippie Dixon, describes the hill as follows:
"Far above on the left bank of the river rise lofty cliffs of a great height. The face of this steep acclivity is traversed by 'Passpeth', a perilous path, nothing more than a sheep-track overlooking the linns, to be trod only by those possessed of a sure foot and clear head. It was on these exposed heights that the men of Upper Coquet some three centuries ago had to keep watch, night and day, to guard against the incursions of the Scottish Freebooters."
The old track, now known as Pass Peth Image passes close to the summit.
As at Barrow, to the east, there was once a medieval tower house at Linbriggs, also destroyed by Scottish raiders.

Old trackway between Quickening Cote and Linshiels
The track ascends the ridge between the River Coquet (seen ahead to the left) and Ridlees Burn. It was the main route through the valley, leading down to a ford over the River Coquet, before the building of the road bridge north of Linbriggs.

Linshiels, Quickening Cote and Linbriggs from the east
"Adieu to thee, Linn-shiels sae rough! amang thy beetlin' scaurs,
Aneath the beams the laughin' streams may sparkle an' may play;
Now bright in sun, now dark in shade, the water as it wars,
Through rifted craig an' flood-worn cliff its journey and its way.
As owre each linn, wi' gleesome din, the streams come gurglin' gay,
There let the troller wave his gad an' strike "the mennim" fain,
For soon the floods o' winter wild shall roar frae bank to brae:
And this maun be, dear Coquet-side, or ere I come again!"
