| LINTON (Parish) | Linton (Parish ) | Continued | This parish, occupying as it does what was formerly called the "Dry Marches" formed one of the principal thoroughfares betwixt the two kingdoms- A place close to Linton Loch appears at one time to have been an important pass, the Small eminence on which the church is built seems to have afforded a favourable eminence for defending it altho [although] nothing positive respecting it can be obtained. - In a field on the farm of Frogden 5 or 6 upright Stones, forming a circle, were designated the "Tryst", from their being a rendezvous where predatory hordes projecting an incursion into Northumberland were wont to meet- these Stones have long Since been removed, but the field is still well known as the "Five Stone Field" and the name is writted on sheet 10. 14- |

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.
