Dunian, a lumpish, round-backed, ridgy hill in Bedrule and Jedburgh parishes, Roxburghshire. It rises from a base of between 2 and 3 miles in breadth; extends about 3 miles between the Teviot and the Jed down to the vicinity of their point of confluence; bears most of the town of Jedburgh on its north-eastern skirt; attains, on a cap or nodule within Bedrule parish, an altitude of 1095 feet above sea-level; is traversed over its back, not far from the crowning cap, by the road from Jedburgh to Hawick; and commands, from much of that road, and especially from its summit, extensive and splendid views. Its name signifies the `hill of St John.'
