What is recorded here
Wigg Knowe rises to approximately 250 metres and is part of the undulating terrain of the Scottish Borders. Its name may derive from a personal name or a term relating to movement, typical of Old English or Old Norse hill names in the region. While not prominent geologically or historically documented, it contributes to the regional landscape character and local sense of place.
