Comb Hill

A grassy summit rising to 513 metres in the Roxburgh hills of the Scottish Borders, offering wide moorland walking over rolling terrain. The hill sits within a landscape of sheep pasture and rough grazing, typical of this quieter corner of southern Scotland. Its modest height belies the sense of space found on its open slopes.

• •The name 'Comb' likely derives from the Old English 'cumb' meaning a hollow or valley, describing the hill's position alongside natural depressions in the surrounding moorland rather than the summit itself.
• •As a Donald Dewey, Comb Hill qualifies as one of Scotland's hills between 500 and 2000 feet with sufficient prominence, placing it among the less-visited ranks of classified peaks in the Borders.
• •The hill sits in an area where Border reivers once roamed during the turbulent 16th century, when Anglo-Scottish raids made the Borders one of the most lawless regions in Britain.
