[South West] until it disappears, leaving as an only guide a large Collection of Coarse gravel on the almost level ground. Immediately north of Floors Home farm, within a small plantation it becomes again distinctly visible for a short distance and disappears then altogether, or rather [becomes] at present untraceable in its further course in consequence of the height of the Crop. |

Ordnance Survey - Roxburgh 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 Roxburgh, which is in the south east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
