​Hundy Mundy Wood is a mature Scot's pine and beech wood in an elevated position on the Mellerstain Estate. Hundy Mundy is in fact the name of the gothic folly which stands prominently within a gap in the trees. 

The wood is part of a historic, designed landscape of one of Scotland's great Georgian houses, which was begun in 1725 by architect William Adam and completed seventy years later by his famous son, Robert. The woodland burial ground is located near Kelso and about 35 miles south of Edinburgh, in the heart of the Scottish Borders.
