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 & 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 & Lammermoor; the former including all the Comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder, & Eye; and the latter comprehending Lauderdale, along with the more eastern hilly country peculiarly Called Lammermoor --- According to the general divisions 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 parishes of Nenthorn & Merton, & forming the largest piece of Compact level ground -- diversified only by a few gentle undulations |
