1526: Kerr of Cessford was killed here by Elliots, fuelling years of war with Buccleuch’s men. The landscape still holds the clue—a forgotten “standing stone” (not prehistoric), now buried in holly, facing the Eildons and the Tweed. #ScottishBorders #Melrose #Hidden...

Similar heraldry Knolles of Chateau ile Yeu has a chevron argent wth three roses. Hepburn of Hailes has a single rose. Kerr of Cessford have three stars and Fleming of Biggar is blank. Some claimed the chevron represents pouring out the Cup of Christ not acknowledging the Church!
