From time immemorial it was a low waste moor till twenty five years ago, when formed into a number of cultivated enclosures. On more than twenty different spots were large cairns, in many of which fine yellow dust, and in one an old spear, was found. Two unhewn massive stones still stand about 100 yards distant from each other, and which doubtless are the monuments of the dead. The real tradition simply bears, that here a deadly feud was settled by dint of arms; the upright stones mark the place where the two lords or leaders fell, and the bodies of their followers were thrown into a marshy pool called the Dead Lake, in the adjoining haugh.

It probably records the event of the combat fought betwixt John Scott of Tushielaw, and his brother-in-law Walter Scott, third son of Robert of Thirlestane, in which the latter was slain. The person slain was the male ancestor of the present Lord Napier. Tradition affirms that the hero of the song (Dowie Dens of Yarrow) was murdered by the brother either of his wife or bethroted bride. The alleged cause of malice was the lady's father having proposed to endow her with half of his property, upon her marriage with a warrior of such renown. The name of the murderer is said to have been Annan and the place of combat is stile called Annan's Treat. It is a low muir, on the banks of the Yarrow, lying to the west of Yarrow Kirk. Two tall unhewn masses of stone are erected about eighty yards(?) distant from each other, and the least child that can herd a cow, will tell the passenger, that there lie "the two lords, who were slain in single combat."
