Location: Hawick, Scottish Borders, South Scotland, Scotland, United Kingdom
This statue has been installed here in memory of the Battle of Hornshole, which took place in 1514. A group of Hawick youth overcame an English raiding party and took their flag. This happened shortly after the Battle of Flodden in which many adult males fell, and it was up to young both after that 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.
