Cottages in Denholm
The thatched cottage in the photo was the birthplace in 1775 of Dr John Leyden, son of a shepherd. At the age of 15, John Leyden enrolled at Edinburgh University, eventually qualifying both as a doctor and as a minister. He was an associate of Sir Walter Scott and a poet in his own right, and became an expert in oriental languages before his early death, at the age of 36, in Java.

This 1861 monument designed by Hector H Orrock and sculpted by Handyside Ritchie, takes the form of a Gothic stone spire set on red granite columns, and stands in the middle of the village green. It was erected by public subscription to the memory of John Leyden, a poet and oriental scholar who was born in Denholm in 1775. Restoration and repair of the monument was carried out in 1982.
