From the Wikipedia article
The Devil's Beef Tub (Marquis of Annandale's Beef-Tub, Beef-Stand, MacLaren's Leap) is a deep, dramatic hollow in the hills north of the Scottish town of Moffat. The 150-metre-deep (490-foot) hollow is formed by four hills, Great Hill, Peat Knowe, Annanhead Hill and Ericstane Hill. It is one of the two main sources of the River Annan.

Background
History
On 12 August 1685 fleeing covenanter John Hunter attempted to escape pursuing dragoons by running up the steep side of the Beef Tub. He failed, was shot dead on the spot, and is buried in Tweedsmuir kirkyard (churchyard). A monument to Hunter stands on the southwest rim of the Beef Tub. 'Corehead and Devil's Beef Tub' and the 'Talla and Gameshope' areas, were acquired in 2009 and 2013 by the Borders Forest Trust that was formed by the group that created the Carrifran Wildwood rewilding project. Together, these three areas of rewilding in the Moffat Hills are known as 'The Wild Heart of Southern Scotland'.
