<br />
This more theatrical face of the house dates chiefly from Archibald Elliot’s remodelling for John Pringle around 1819–20. Its Ionic loggia supports a balustraded balcony, while a procession of Canova-style classical statues lines the terrace overlooking Haining Loch. Together, the architecture, sculpture and landscaped setting turned the grounds into an elegant Scottish interpretation of the Grand Tour.<br />
<br />
The Category A listed mansion and its designed landscape are now cared for by The Haining Charitable Trust for the benefit of Selkirkshire and the wider public.</p>

<br />
At the southern edge of Selkirk stands The Haining, a classical Palladian mansion begun in 1794 for Mark Pringle. Its design is attributed to William Elliot; in 1819, Pringle’s son John commissioned Edinburgh architect Archibald Elliot to remodel and enrich the house. The north front’s pedimented Ionic portico and arcaded entrance give the building its stately Georgian character.<br />
<br />
The house is Category A listed, and the surrounding designed landscape is included in Scotland’s Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes. Peel Hill, beside the loch, is the site of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle, while a terrace of Canova-style statues looks out over Haining Loch.<br />
<br />
Andrew Nimmo-Smith bequeathed the house and estate for the benefit of the people of Selkirkshire and the wider public. The Haining Charitable Trust now stewards the estate, with repairs to the main house part of its phased restoration.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/daveowensphotos/55580891684/" title="The Ground That Changed History — Branxton, Northumberland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55580891684_09fb0b2aba_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The Ground That Changed History — Branxton, Northumberland" /></a></p>

<p>On 9 September 1513, one of the bloodiest battles in Anglo-Scottish history was fought not at Flodden Hill, from which it takes its familiar name, but here at Branxton, Northumberland.<br />
<br />
This first interpretation board overlooks the western part of the battlefield, where the Scottish left flank, commanded by Lord Home and the Earl of Huntly having been pummeled by the lighter and more maneuverable light artillery of the English advanced downhill against the English right under Sir Edmund Howard.<br />
<br />
The Scottish attack was initially successful. Unlike the Scottish formations advancing nearer the centre, Home and Huntly's troops encountered comparatively favourable ground and drove the English back. Elsewhere, treacherous, boggy terrain disrupted the Scottish pike formations, leaving them vulnerable to English soldiers armed with shorter bills.<br />
<br />
The initial Scottish success proved fleeting. English reserves under Lord Dacre intervened, while the Scottish left failed to exploit its advantage or relieve the increasingly desperate fighting in the centre.<br />
<br />
By the end of the day, King James IV lay dead alongside much of Scotland's nobility. His death made him the last reigning British monarch to be killed in battle.<br />
<br />
More than 500 years later, the rolling Northumberland countryside gives little indication of the slaughter that once took place here. Yet the contours of the landscape still help explain why the battle unfolded as it did.<br />
<br />
A shoutout for the boards all around the battlefield that explain the different phases of the battle so well. They bring history to life.<br />
