The name of the parish of Home is obviously derived from the Saxon Holm, signifying a hill, which has been perverted, by Colloquial use, into Howm, & Hume - The Castle, & Village of Home, Stand on the Summit of a conspicuous hill, which rises 898 above the level of the Sea. The parish of Home, which is ancient, was of old four times the extent of the present district: During the 12th Century, Home parish included a Considerable part of Gordon and [Continued on page 2] |

a Confirmation by the Diocesan, Bishop Robert, who died, in 1159, of
the church of Home, with the whole parish, the Village and also a
part of Gordon. The Monks having obtained, by exchange, the
patronage of the Chapel of Gordon and a large part of Westruther,
to be erected into a separate parish - by Bishop Richard, who, on that occasion, gave the people of that part of Gordon which belonged to Adam Gordon, liberty to take the Sacrament and to bury their dead, either at the church of the new parish, or at the Mother church at Home - as long as it should please
the Monks of Kelso. By this measure, the old parish of
Home was nearly reduced to its present limits. The mother church [Continued on Page 3} |

In ancient times the shire of Berwick seems to have been a separate jurisdiction from the Bailliary of Lauderdale and to have itself divided into the Merse and Lammermuir districts.
It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries and extent of these three districts and almost obsolete.
For the purposes of agricultural inquiry, the whole county may be very consistently considered under two districts-: the "Merse" and the "Lammermuirs": the former including all the comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder [Continued on Page 5] |

This is here a considerable Stream, where it forms the Boundary between the parishes of "Hume" and "Earlston," It has an artificial appearance, it having been both widened and deepened for the purpose of draining the low land which lies on each Side. It forms the Boundary of the above parishes for only about 3/4 of a mile after which it Separates the Phs [Parishes] of Earlston and Nenthorn &c. It rises in the parish of Legerwood, near Boon; and flows first eastwardly and then southward, dividing the parishes of Earlston from the parishes of Hume and Neuthorn. It then debouches to the East, and flows through the parish of Neuthorn, and over a neck of Roxburghshire, intersecting in its Course the parish of Ednam, and falls into the Tweed 3 1/2 miles below Kelso. Its whole course is about 17 or 18 miles. The lower part of its Course is very beautiful, being through rich, & finely wooded pastoral scenery. |

A conspicuous building, situated immediately south of the Village, erected on a considerable eminence and commanding a beautiful view of the Merse and a considerable part of Roxburghshire. The Castle, once the Seat of the potent Earls of Hume, was about 70 years ago in so prostrate a condition as to exist only in vestiges nearly level with the ground, but was restored and rebattlemented from its own material by the last Earl of Marchmont. It was besieged in 1541 by the English under the Duke of Sommerset, when, after having held out for some time under the command of Lady Hume, it was delivered up on fair terms. In 1550 Cromwell despatched Colonel Fenwick at the head of two regiments to seize the Earls Castle of Hume,- In answer to a peremtory summons to surrender, sent by him to the Governor of the Castle - Cockburne, known by the name of "Willie Wastle" returned a missive of humourous tenor, which has been preserved aand is worth recording: - Right Honourable. I have received a trumpeter of yours, as he tells me, without a pass, to surrender Hume Castle to the Lord General Cromwell. Please you, I never saw your General, as for Hume Castle it stands upon a rock. Given at Hume Castle this day before 7 o'clock. So resteth without prejudice to my native Country your most humble servant. (Signed) T. Cockbuurne. However,
