017 ; 018 ; 023 ; 024 | In ancient times the shire of Berwick seems to have been a separate jurisdiction from the bailliary of Lauderdale to have been divided into The Merse and Lammermoor districts It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries and extent of these three divisions now almost obsolete For the purpose of agricultural inquiry the whole county may be very conveniently considered under two districts the Merse and Lammermoor the former including all the comparitively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder and Eye and the latter comprehending Lauderdale along the more eastern hilly country peculiarly called Lammermoor according to general divisions of the country. Just pointed out the Merse designates the lower ground from Tweed up the cultivated slopes of the southern range of the Lammermoor hills including the western parish of Nenthorn and Merton, and forming the longest pieces of Compact level ground diversified only by a few gentle undulations - to be found in Scotland. Mr Blackadder estimated this division to contain 100.226 acres |
