In ancient times - the shire of Berwick seems to have been a separate jurisdiction from the Bailliary of Lauderdale, & to have been itself divided into the Merse & Lammermoor districts -- It is not easy to Say what had been the exact boundaries & extent of these three divisions, now almost obsolete For the purposes of agricultural inquiry, the whole county may be very conveniently considered under two districts the Merse & the Lammermoor: the former including all the comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye; the Merse designates the whole lower ground from Tweed up the cultivated slopes of the lower Southern range of the Lammermoor hills - including the western parishes of Nenthorn & Mertoun - & forming the largest piece of compact level ground diversified only by a few gentle undulations - to be found in Scotland - Estimated at 100.226 acres -- |
