- Friday night myself and @AndyWardle headed up onto Stob Rig for a wildcamp at the Stob Stanes
About Stob Stanes
For much of the medieval period the stones marked one point on the eastern boundary of an estate owned by the Abbey of Kelso. When the monks left in the 1500s, this land, bounded on the west by the Halter burn, became disputed territory between Scotland and England. It was long claimed as common land by the people of Yetholm who were not above taking direct action. When the English Earl of Tankerville impounded some of their cattle in 1753, ‘thirty or forty infuriated Scots in a violent and forceful manner’ took them back. The stones now lie just a few metres from the Scotland/England border which largely follows the eastern edge of what was Yetholm Common.
The Stob Stanes play a major part each year in Yetholm’s Festival Week. A spectacular ride-out takes place on the Wednesday of the second week in June during the Festival Week. Over 100 riders follow the border line, which is also the northern and eastern bounds of the parish, galloping up the Halterburn hills to the Stob Stanes. There a ceremony takes place involving the Bari Gadgi and Bari Manushi (Romany names signifying the ‘best man’ and ‘best girl’), the ‘principals’ of Yetholm’s Festival Week. The cavalcade then returns to Kirk Yetholm led by a piper. The Yetholm tradition of riding the bounds up to the Stob Stanes probably goes back to the 1700s, but is first mentioned in print as part of the crowning of the Gypsy King Charles Blyth I in 1847.

Loved it, fantastic stuff - and you’re right, spitting in mage of Sean Connery 😂😂
Morning graham. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Ha doesn't he 😄
Good to see you out with Cindy again I knew you would be able to persuade him to go to your pitch 😂. Fair play it did have great views mind and I have never seen a man so engrossed in his cooking as Sean Connery! Shame about the Greek holiday but Scotland sounds and I know was good. Good camp, well deserved drink at the bottom and nice to see the great landscape views - yes, I remember the days of portrait footage😁, cheers Alan
