011 | About ¾ of a mile east from the summit of Hare Hill. A rocky and steep chasm through which the "Logan Burn" runs or rather falls in several cascades, the noise of the water as it falls from shelf to shelf is heard at a great distance, it is said to be the "Halbie's How" of Ramsay's "Gentle Shepherd" but this is disputed by the admirers of the North Esk at "Newhall House" the late proprietor of which caused the names of the rural objects depicted in this poem, to be applied to similar objects upon his estate. |

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Midlothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
