| POLWARTH | Polwarth (Ph) [Parish] | Continued | [Continued from Page 2] The Village itself is Situated on very wet and swampy ground, Yet the place is healthy; and neither Rheumatic nor aguish Complaints prevail in any remarkable degree. The houses are much Scattered, seldom more than two or three being Situated together. It is probably owing to this Circumstance that epidemic distempers are not very apt to spread. A Custom once prevailed in this parish which is not unworthy of notice here. In the Midst of the Village are two Thorn Trees near to each other; round these every Married Couple or pair were expected to dance with all his friends; from hence arose the old Saing of "Polwarth on the Green".
