Ken the horse.

I was down in Hawick today to meet some friends for lunch and when I was on my way back I took a shot of this statue. The memorial commemorates the victory of local youths or "callants" from the town over a party of English raiders at Hornshole, just outside Hawick in 1514, when most of the men of the town had been killed on Flodden field the year before.  The English flag was captured and carried back to Hawick, the capture of which is commemorated in this proud statue.

Locally it is known as Ken the horse - if you ask directions in Hawick, locals will often say "Div ee ken the horse? - gan past there and turn right/left etc"  This has led to the nickname.

This is an appropriate track, I think!
