Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Brothers' Standing Stones An evening shot of the standing stones on the summit of Brotherstone Hill to the east of Smailholm. The stone on the left is approximately 1.6m high while the stone on the right is approximately 2.5m high. According to folklore, two brothers went overseas in search of fame and fortune, and on their return each was unaware that they had followed different faiths, one being protestant and the other catholic. An argument over their respective religions resulted in the two brothers duelling whereby they both died of sword wounds. The legend says that local people erected the two monoliths to mark where the brothers fell and were buried. |
