The hills rise to over 330 metres to the west of Jedburgh and the mountains in the distance are the Cheviots, some 25 kilometers to the east, which rise to over 800 metres. The field lies at over 200 metres. The farms are large and the farmhouses are widely scattered. The Borders were a major sheep producing area from the days of the great Border abbeys. The Cheviot breed was developed there.
