Blackhope, a mountain on the mutual border of Edinburgh and Peebles shires, and a rivulet in Heriot parish, Edinburghshire. The mountain, Blackhope Scar, culminates at the meeting-point of Temple, Heriot, and Innerleithen parishes, and is the highest of the Moorfoot Hills, rising 2136 feet above sea-level. The rivulet, flowing from its NE shoulder, runs 3 miles north-eastward, and 1¼ south-south-eastward; makes a confluence with Ladyside Burn to form Heriot Water; and, in some sheltered pools, contains a fair store of trout.
