Transcriber's notes

3 entries in red seem to have been added after the description was written and relate to the position of the 'objects' in the Name Lists. I have marked them with * to distinguish them from descriptive remarks. They are in 3 different columns so it was difficult to know where to transcribe them.

Greenlaw Parish -- W Beatty -- [page] 5

Greenlaw (Parish) -- Greenlaw (Parish) -- Continued -- *The supposed Sites inserted; See pages 39 and 95 of the Name List* -- There were to be seen a few years in this neighbourhood the ruins of two religious houses dependent on the priory of Kelso, when Popery was established in this Country but there is not now a Vestage of them remaining - *a third Chapel inserted on sheet 22.9*
There are the remains of an Encampment about two miles above the town, at the confluence of the Blackadder and Fangrist - and on the very verge of their precipitous banks. The Camp, which is Called the Blackcastle Rings and is on the Northern side of the river; and on the south side, exactly opposite, is the beginning of an Intrenchment which runs about half along the bank, and then turns off to the South in the direction of Hume Castle - That part of it which runs in a Southerly direction is called The Black Dikes"-
