Halidon Hill

Halidon Hill is a summit, about two miles (3 km) west of the centre of Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the border of England and Scotland. It reaches 600 feet (180 m) high. The name of the hill indicates that it once had a fortification on its top. At the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, Edward III of England used longbow-men on the heights of the hill to defeat the Scottish army led by Archibald the "Tyneman" Douglas, regent of Scotland.
