Teviothead - more graves, and egg and chips

Another rainy day, so we took a little jaunt up the A7 into the Borders.

First, we visited The Celtic Goldsmith at Teviothead. The shop is interesting, but they didn’t have exactly what we were after so left empty-handed. They know a bit about rock art in there, and lots of other local history to boot.

Across the road in the village itself, we visited Teviothead old churchyard, complete with the memorial marking the mass grave of border outlaw Johnnie Armstrong and 36 of his men, sent to gallows without trial by James V in 1530.

There were some other old graves here, some which looked very similar to the ones we saw at Yarrow Kirk. Unfortunately the inscriptions were weathered or covered by moss so we couldn’t read them. But that didn't make them any less beautiful.

Next it was back via Langholm and lunch of eggs and chips at the little teashop.
