003 ; 004 ; 009 ; 010 | In ancient times the shire of Berwick seems to have been a Separate jurisdiction from the Bailliary of Lauderdale, & to have been itself 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 purpose of agricultural inquiry, the whole may be very conveniently considered under two districts, ie. Merse and 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 division of the County just pointed out, the "Merse" designates the whole lower ground from Tweed up the cultivated slopes of the lower range of the Lammermoor hills |
