Old photograph of Peniel Heugh near Ancrum located four miles North of Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland. On this Scottish hill stands the Waterloo Monument. Places nearby include Bonjedward, Crailing, Jedburgh, Monteviot House, Roxburgh. The Roman Heritage Way and St. Cuthbert's Way pass by the heugh and the monument. The monument is a 150 foot tower, built between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. It was designed by the architect Archibald Elliot, after the original monument designed by William Burn collapsed. The area just north of the village was the site of the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545.
