Interesting facts about this location
Maiden Paps, Hawick
The Maiden Paps are twin hills near Hawick, in the Scottish Borders of the south east of Scotland, that have the shape of human breasts. They are located 12 km south of Hawick; the higher pap is 510 m and the lower 500 m high. Although there are some well defined hills like the Maiden Paps, the Roxburgh Hills are gently rolling for the most part, like much of the Southern Uplands. Due to the surrounding landscape, hills such as the Maiden Paps tend to look more prominent than they actually are.
