'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.

The New Callant Statue in Hawick
This is the new companion statue to the Horse Statue at the other end of the High Street. In 1514 Hawick youths routed an English raiding party at the Battle of Hornshole at a narrow bend on the River Teviot. Many adult males had been killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513 leaving only boys to defend their communities.
This scene shows a Callant with a banner being welcomed back to the town. It symbolises awe and pride felt by the townspeople of Hawick at this small but significant victory.
All of these figures were based on local people and were sculpted by the Beltane Studios in Peebles.
