Eildon Hill lies just south of Melrose, Scotland in the Scottish Borders, overlooking the town. The name is usually pluralised into "the Eildons" or "Eildon Hills", because of its triple peak. The 422 metres (1,385 ft) high eminence overlooks Teviotdale to the South. The north hilltop (of three peaks) is surrounded by over 5 km (3.1 mi) of ramparts, enclosing an area of about 16 ha (40 acres) in which at least 300 level platforms have been cut into the rock to provide bases for turf or timber-walled houses, forming one of the largest hill forts known in Scotland. A Roman army signalling station was later constructed on the same site as this hill fort.

  • Eildon Hill (prononcé en anglais ['i:ldən hɪl]) est une colline qui se situe au sud de Melrose dans les Scottish Borders en Écosse. Elle comporte trois pics. Le plus au nord est entouré de 5 km de remparts, délimitant une zone de 16 ha dans laquelle au moins trois cents plateformes ont été taillées dans la roche pour servir de base à des maisons de gazon ou de bois. Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) a évoqué ce lieu à plusieurs reprises dans les annexes de la préface générale du roman Waverley. Sa résidence Abbotsford, à Galashiels, est située à proximité. (fr)
