Old maps show a 'Site of Battle' at Bloody Bush. It was in fact more of a nasty skirmish (or 'sanguinary encounter', as James Logan Mack tells it) between Border Reivers. A party of english raiders had camped here overnight and were found and killed by Liddesdale men. The exact date is unknown but likely to have been in the C15th or 16th centuries.
The Toll Pillar was set up by the two landowners in the 1830s and is a substantial structure some 15 feet high with an inscribed plaque on its north side.

The historic Bloody Bush Pillar marks the border between England and Scotland. It's also thought to be the site of a fracas between Border Reivers in the 15th or 16th century, in which a party of camping English raiders were killed.
The pillar stands on the Cross Border Trail from Kielder to Newcastleton. Expect to give way to mountain bikers and enjoy the lovely views of tussocky moorland.
