This stone set in the wall marks the area where Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, known as the 'Lord Protector' camped with his vast English army of perhaps 30,000 soldiers on the eve of the Battle of Pinkie Cleuch. This was a battle in the campaign known as the 'Rough Wooing' whereby King Henry VIII of England attempted to marry off his son the future Edward VII to the infant Mary Queen of Scots and thereby unify England and Scotland. Although routed in the battle the Scots managed to spirit Queen Mary off to France for safe keeping.
