Denholm is a small village located between Jedburgh and Hawick in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, UK.

It lies in gentle rolling countryside between Rubers Law and the Minto Hills, volcanic outcrops which thrust up through the underlying Old Red Sandstone.

The monument was designed by the architect Hector H. Orrock, and sculpted by Alexander Handyside Ritchie.

The cross itself was removed and the base hollowed out sometime in the 19th century to make a water trough for cattle.

[5] Council pre-fabs were put up in the Ashloaning at the end of the war followed by the "Crudens semis" and the "Orlits".
