| KNIGHTFIELD RIG | Knightfield Rig | John Jackson, Logan House William Henderson, Kirkton |
012 | A ridge partly arable and part heathy on the Farm of Kirkton. Tradition says that Sir William St. Clair of Roslin stood here during the celebrated match between King Robert Bruce's hounds and his, and which led to the erection of St. Catherine's Church, the vestiges of which are still visible when the Reservoir a little South is unusually low. This affair is mentioned by Sir Walter Scott in the "Lay of the Last Minstrel". |

Ordnance Survey - Midlothian county
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.
