Mountain Cross is a little village in Peeblesshire, on the A701 road between Romannobridge and Blyth Bridge.
In spite of its name, this village is not among the county's wild fells, but in the fertile farmland between two ranges of hills, the Pentland Hills to the north-west and the Moorfoot Hills to the south-east. It is half a mile north-east of Blyth Bridge, on the tongue of land between the Longstruther Burn and the Lyne Water.
