    Tips

    June 18, 2025

    For a unique experience at the Waterloo Monument atop Peniel Heugh, consider visiting during the late afternoon. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the Scottish Borders, enhancing the panoramic views from the summit. To access the monument's interior and climb the spiral staircase to the viewing platform, you can borrow a key from the Lothian Estates Office in nearby Bonjedward for a small fee. Remember to check the office's opening hours in advance to ensure availability.
