In 2009 another monument the ''Turning of the Bull'' (artist, Angela Hunter, [[Innerleithen]]) was unveiled in Hawick. This monument depicts William Rule turning the wild bull as it was charging King [[Robert the Bruce]], thus saving the king's life and beginning the Scottish [[Clan Turnbull|Clan of Turnbull]]. A poem written by [[John Leyden]] commemorates this historical event. "His arms robust the hardy hunter flung around his bending horns, and upward wrung, with writhing force his neck retorted round, and rolled the panting monster to the ground, crushed, with enormous strength, his bony skull; and courtiers hailed the man who turned the bull."
