003.03 | An interesting little river of Mid-Lothian and Roxburghshire - It rises among the Moorfoot Hills in the former County, between Ruther Law and Hunt Law, on the northern boundary of the parish of Heriot, and, after flowing 2 miles due East, receives from the North a tributary equal in importance to itself, and suddenly bends round to the Sth. [South] From the point of its exit out of Mid-Lothian onwards, it, with one trivial exception, divides Roxburghshire on its left banK, from SelKirKshire on its right; and from its source, to where it enters the Tweed a little below Abbotsford, it traverses altogether a distance of about 21 miles |

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.
