Henderland Hill

Rising to 531 metres in the Manor Hills south of Peebles, this grassy Borders summit offers a relatively straightforward ascent across typical Southern Upland terrain. The hill sits within a quiet, rolling landscape that sees fewer walkers than the better-known ranges to the north, making it a peaceful objective for those collecting the lesser-walked Donalds.

• •The name 'Henderland' likely derives from the Scots word 'hinder', meaning 'behind' or 'remote', describing land set back from the main valley settlements - a fitting description for this secluded corner of the Manor Hills.
• •Henderland Castle, situated in the valley below, was the seat of the Cockburn family until the notorious Perris Cockburn was hanged by James V in 1530, his alleged crimes immortalised in the Border ballad 'The Dowie Dens o' Yarrow'.
• •The hill forms part of a natural horseshoe walk that can include neighbouring summits Dollar Law and Molls Cleuch Dod, offering a satisfying ridge traverse across the high ground between Manor Water and Megget Water.
