What is recorded here
Black Andrew rises to approximately 300 metres and is part of the Cheviot Hills, a range forming a natural border between Scotland and England. Its name may derive from the dark, heather-covered slopes typical of the region, though specific folklore is not widely recorded. The hill matters as a minor landmark in the broader Cheviot range, valued for its scenic and recreational significance in the Scottish Borders.
