Closer view of the memorial plaque, with a Scottish thistle added by a visitor, from wreath already present.

Granite base of the Memorial to those that fell at the Battle Of Flodden, in 1513. Estimates of the casualties vary, from as few as 6,500 to 19,000 killed, from both sides. The forces which started the battle comprised 26,000 English and 30,000 Scottish men.

The memorial cross, located to the far right wing of the English lines, on Piper's Hill. Flodden Hill [and the Scottish lines] are on the skyline, working to the left in this view.

A very imaginative re-use of the village telephone box in Branxton. The commentary and displays are informative.

Information post on the roadside, about where the road passes through were the Scottish front line would have been.

Looking NW towards the ridge held by the English, from about the middle of the Scottish lines.

Looking north towards the English positions [in front of Branxton] from the Scottish lines on Flodden hill. The bottom of the intervening valley was a marshy quagmire. The memorial cross is on the extreme left, on Piper's Hill.
