These crags, rising very obviously above the area, are what remains of a very old volcano. Believe it or not, but there is a theory that at the time when the volcano was active, what is now Scottish Borders was south of the equator!

Great views from the crags, and Fatlips Castle is just next door (well, next rock, really).
