All the county watered by the Ettrick, the yarrow & their tributaries, and the Kindred district watered by the Cadon northward of the Tweed, besides the upper ward of Clydesdale, were anciently a literal Forest, the remains of the ancient Caledonian Forest. Excepting a few Straggling thorns, and Some Solitary birches, no trace of "Ettrick Forest fair" now remains, although wherever protected from the Sheep, Copses soon arise without any planting. |

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