The imposing James Hogg Monument, overlooking St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. It was unveiled in 1860 to commemorate the author often known as "The Ettrick Shepherd" who lived from 1770 to 1835. The image shows the setting before the trees in the background were blown down in a storm in January 2022.
