The memorial to John Byers
On the hillside overlooking Newcastleton, attractively flanked by daffodils at this time of year. The memorial is inscribed to the memory of John Byers "Bluebell" 1879-1968, the "Bard of Liddisdale". Underneath is an extract from his deathless poetry which reads
"Where-er on earth I wander
till life's vital spark does fail
I'll mind the grand historic spots
in auld Liddle's bonnie vale"
