Title: Hollowshillgate
Post by: Nodrogw on Friday 04 July 14 11:54 BST (UK)

Does anyone know if Hollowshillgate, Canonbie is a small hamlet. I have seen a photograph taken from Hollowshillgate, but not of it. Many of my family (Scott) died at Hollowshillgate, and I would like to know exactly where it is. Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi Nodrogw

If you search Parish of Canonbie Map Gazetteer of Scotland on the internet and click on Historical
you will see the location of Hollowshillgate. It is on the road that the locals call the High Road which runs parallel with the A7 between Hollows and Bowholm, Canonbie.
The buildings are no longer standing.
