On the summit of Winter Hill, close to the transmitter masts and buildings, stands a ten foot tall iron memorial known as Scotsman’s Stump. On it is a small plaque that states: “In memory of George Henderson, Traveller, native of Annan Dumfriesshire who was barbarously murdered on Rivington Moor at noonday November 9th 1838, in the 20th year of his age.”
