Geocache Description:


John Hunter lived at Tweedsmuir and was pursued by dragoons under Colonel James Douglas. He was shot in the Devil's Beef Tub, a deep natural depression, in 1685. His body was later interred in Tweedsmuir kirkyard (Peebsleshire), where three stones commemorate him.

  • The listed parking waypoint is literally across the road from GZ.  Please take care when crossing what can be a busy main road.  The monument is accessed via a wooden gate at the side of the road close to GZ.
