MacDiarmid Memorial Sculpture

Highlight • Viewpoint

Overlooking the town of Langholm, this memorial takes the form of a giant metal open book and is dedicated to the poet Hugh MacDiarmid.

Created by the sculptor Jake Harvey, the MacDiarmid Memorial is dedicated to one of Scotland's greatest poets of the 20th century. Born Christopher Murray Grieve on 11 August 1892 in Langholm, Hugh MacDiarmid spent the majority of his life away from his birthplace but returned as often as possible, particularly to enjoy the Common Riding.

Penton Bridge – England–Scotland Border

Highlight • Historical Site

The lovely Penton Bridge sits on the England/Scotland border (the border follows River Liddel here). Very pleasant views of the river from the bridge, and if you are looking for a place to rest, then just off the bridge there are good and easy spots on the river's bank.
