022 ; 023 ; 028 ; 029 In ancient times, the Shire of
Berwick seems to have been a
separate jurisdiction from the
Bailliery of Lauderdale, & to
have been itself divided into the Merse & Lammermoor districts.

Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye; and the latter
Comprehending Lauderdale, along with the more hilly Country peculiarly Called Lammermoor.
