Brotherstone Hill is a hill of 807 feet near St Boswells and the Eildon Hills on the boundary of Berwickshire with Roxburghshire.
To the east of its summit plateau, on a knoll 804 feet above sea level, stand the two standing stones which give the hill its name; stones dating from the megalithic age. The stones differ in height (one 8 feet high and the other 5 feet 3 inches) and stand 17 yards apart. The stones mark the boundary between the two counties.
On the slopes of the hill is Brotherstone Farm, situated off a minor road, between the villages of Gattonside and Smailholm.
