Over the Scottish border, you're quite close to The Twelve Apostles of Holywood. Girdle Stanes and Loupin Stanes are also reasonably close. Personally, I'd be willing to put in the extra miles to get to Cairnholy and Torhousekie as well.
In Cumbria, Long Meg, Gunnerkeld and Gamestones are within striking distance. Swinside is a bit of a hike from where you're staying, but you might want to consider it either on the way there or back. It's really a corker.
