| The Catrail or Pictsworkditch | The Catrail or Pictsworkditch | Continued [from OS1/30/10/13] From Langside Burn, its remains are very distinct, as they pass along the northern base of the Maiden Paps to the Leapsteel; and thence passing Robertslin, it traverses a tract of boggy ground called Cockspart: crossing the hills into the upper part of Lidsdale, the remains of it again appear on Dawstane Burn; and thence passing the abbey, it goes on to Dawstane Rig - from this position, faint vestiges of it were traced nearly to the Peel-fell, which is one of the chain of mountains, that forms a natural barrier, between Northumberland, on the South, & Teviot dale, and Lidsdale on the North -- The whole course of the Catrail, which has been thus traced, from the vicinity of Galashiels to Peel-fell, is upwards of 45 miles -- The most entire parts of the Catrail show, that it was originally a broad, and deep fosse; having on each side a rampart, which was formed of the natural soil, that was thrown from the Ditch, intermixed with some stones. Its dimensions vary, in different places - [Continued on OS1/30/10/15] |
