It was Rob Roy who declared,
"Were I to lose sight of my native hills, my heart would sink and
my arm would wither like fern i' the winter's blast." Similar would
be the confession of all who have lived in the shadow of the imposing
glen of Stanhope.
The Stanhope estate is nestled along the River Tweed in the Drumelzier Parish of Scotland's Southern
Uplands. In an area of which Sir Walter Scott penned, "I like the very nakedness of the land;
it has something bold, stern and solitary about it. When I have been for some time in the
rich scenery about Edinburgh, I begin to wish myself back again among my own honest hills."
