'Return from Hornshole' Monument
This is also known as the 'Quincentenary statue' or the 'Callant's Return'. It was unveiled on 15 May 2014, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Hornshole Skirmish. The skirmish, of 1514, a year after the Battle of Flodden, happened when a band of young Hawick men, considered too young to fight with King James IV at Flodden, surprised and routed an English force under Lord Dacre which was camped nearby.
It depicts a callant handing over the captured Hexham Banner to the townspeople of Hawick. The towns people are depicted as either elderly or young because the adult males of the town had mostly died in the battle the year before.
It was sculpted at Beltane Studios, Peebles and cost around £80,000.
