1526: Kerr of Cessford was killed here by Elliots, fuelling years of war with Buccleuch’s men. The landscape still holds the clue—a forgotten “standing stone” (not prehistoric), now buried in holly, facing the Eildons and the Tweed. #ScottishBorders #Melrose #Hidden...

Similar heraldry Knolles of Chateau ile Yeu has a chevron argent wth three roses. Hepburn of Hailes has a single rose. Kerr of Cessford have three stars and Fleming of Biggar is blank. Some claimed the chevron represents pouring out the Cup of Christ not acknowledging the Church!

A Clan stronghold

@Joey__Kerr Indeed. Always fun to see the last name pop up here and there!

@4Clan_Kerr Good stuff! Seeing the name Mark Kerr made me think of the one Dwayne Johnson is playing in his new movie, I'd never heard of him before, but he's one of us from what I read.

A fun little read sevenswords.uk/kerr-clan/

@TcarrP It is a great feeling to walk among your ancestors

@4Clan_Kerr the Abby and some of the tomb inside. My son thought it was so cool that he was a direct descent to everyone in the room.
