EDITORS COMMENTS
Covenanters Monument at Philiphaugh: A Testament to Scotland's Religious and Political History Nestled within the tranquil woodland of Philiphaugh Estate in Selkirk, Scotland, stands the Covenanters Monument, a memorial cairn that pays homage to a pivotal moment in the country's religious and political history. Dating back to the 1640s, the Battle of Philiphaugh saw the Covenanters, a group of Scottish Presbyterians, emerge victorious against the Royalist Army, led by the Marquis of Montrose. The Covenanters, who sought to uphold the Reformed Faith in Scotland, had been fighting against the attempts of King Charles I to impose Episcopacy upon them. In 1645, under the leadership of General Sir David Leslie, they met the Royalist forces at Philiphaugh, a strategic location near the River Tweed. The ensuing battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Covenanters, marking a significant turning point in the First Bishops' War. The Covenanters Monument was erected by Sir John Murray in recognition of this triumph. The monument, which is believed to date from the 1910s, stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this period of Scottish history. The inscription on the monument reads, "In memory of the Battle fought here on the 13th September 1645, between the Covenanters under General Leslie and the Marquis of Montrose, in which the Covenanters were victorious." The Covenanters Monument at Philiphaugh is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Scotland's rich history. Surrounded by the picturesque woodland and situated near the walled gardens of the Philiphaugh Estate, the monument offers a serene and reflective space to contemplate the events that shaped the religious and political landscape of Scotland centuries ago.
