Arkleton Steading with Arkleton House and Arkleton Hill behind

Arkleton House was built in 1860/1884 and incorporates stone from Arkleton tower which stood nearby for 300 years until the early 19th Century.[1] It was the home of Dorothy and Walter Scott-Elliot who were murdered by their butler in 1977. The estate includes the 521m peak of Arkleton Hill which is part of the Langholm – Newcastleton Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Protection Area.

The Arkleton Trust was founded in 1977 “to study new approaches to rural development and education”.[2] It was named after Arkleton which was the home of its founder John Higgs and used for seminars in the early days of the charity.[3]
