The ancient name of the parish was Childen-kirk - i.e. Childrens Kirk, having been dedicated to the Innocents - more recently its name was Gingle kirk. it is so written in our old parochial records - and it is Still commonly So pronounced. Its etymology is uncertain; probably it may have had reference to the nature of the soil, which, is chiefly of a gravelly Sort. This parish is of a Circular figure, nearly 6 miles in Diameter, Consequently its extent in square miles is about 28. The parish Consists of Hills and Valleys, with a Small portion of flat land. The hills may be all Considered as part of the Lammermoor range, which terminates here.
The Vale of the Leader of Lauderdale commences here, Stretching to the East the Lammermoor Hills being its Northern boundary. On the South, this Valley is bounded by the ridge of Moors which separate it from that of Gala -

The hills all Seem to consist of rocks of the Trap formation, & Strata having uniformly a dip to South. In the bottom of the Leader are found beds of red Sandstone, which is used for building. Strata of very fine gravel & Sand appear in many places, and are found at considerable elevations on the sides of the hills; A deep bed of Peat is found on the hills, wherever there is any great extent of flat surface.
This district is well wattered by many Streams of the purest waters, which flow copiously from the hills and fall into the rivulet of the principal Valley which, about the centre of the Parish, first receives the name Leader. From this place to where it meets the Tweed below Melrose, the length of the Leader is about 17 Miles. There are but few vestiges of antiquity in the parish - a holy well; and a road with the ruins of a house which devotees used in their pilgrimage to the abbey of Melrose. There are also on the top of Several hills very evident marks of ancient encampments.

The church is Situated at the Hamlet of Channel kirk, nearly in the middle of the parish, but not in the most central place for the population - and, being on the top of a hill considerable height, its situation is by many found to be very inconvenient. It was built in 1817. and is in good repair. It affords accommodation to 300 persons - The Manse in 1789. and repaired in 1832. The Glebe consists of nine acres, and may be worth £18.0.0 yearly.
There is only one School, & that the parochial. The Schoolmaster's Salary is £30.0.0, and the amount of fees probably £40.0.0. He has the legal accommodations.

"A parish in Berwickshire, nearly of a Circular form, having a diameter of 5 1/2 miles; bounded by Fala & Humbie on the North; Lauder on the East 7 South and Stow on the West. It is a pastoral district situated amongst the Lammermoor hills. where they border with the Counties of East and Mid-Lothian. The principal Village is that of Oxton, with a population of 220.

3,000 acres in tillage, having a thin light soil on a bed of Sandy gravel. The hills are mostly bleak and covered with heath.
A great many Pictish or Scottish military encampments are to be seen in the neighbourhood. They are called "Rings" by the common people. General Roy has preserved a Plan of a Roman Camp here - about a quarter of mile West of the Kirk is a fine spring called "The Well of the Holy Water Cleugh". The Girthgate, or road, by which the monks travelled from Melrose to Edinburgh, passes through the Western boundary of the Parish; & on this road, a few miles due west of the church, are the ruins of an old building commonly called Restlaw Ha'. at which tradition says. the Monks and Pilgrims used to stop for refreshment"

From this station, the Roman road passes on Northward, by the west of Oxton; and in the Course of half a mile, again becomes distinct, & continues obvious to every eye, as it crosses the Western Stream of the Leaden, in its course to the Roman Station, at Channelkirk. From this commanding post, the Roman road proceeded forward to Soutrahill"
"The Roman Camp at Chamelkirk appears to have been of considerable extent, and very similar to the Roman Camp at Cleghorn, Clydesdale - but as the greatest part of the surrounding ramparts. of this camp has been levelled its exact dimensions cannot now be ascertained. The west side, and part of the East only remained in November 1803.
The west side, exhibits a gate - which is covered by a traverse; and at the S W [South West] corner, there is a prodigious redoubt. The area of this camp, is now occupied by the church, the churchYard and the Ministers Glebe of Channelkirk, and extends to almost 5 acres" --

An ancient district of Berwickshire the western one of the three into which the county was divided. In geographical distribution & agricultural properties, Berwickshire is all Strictly divisible into simply the Lammermoors and the Merse; the upper & the lower parts of Lauderdale belonging respectively to these just as distinctly as any other part of the County. The Limits of Lauderdale, So far as the usage of Calling it a distinct district, Cannot be defined, & must probably be understood as including simply the basin of the Leader & its tributaries, So far as the basin is in Berwickshire. Even anciently the limits appear to have been very different in successive periods, & to have marked fluctuations both in the Kind & in the extent of the Civil jurisdiction within them. Maps of Lauderdale, Merse, & Lammermoor, were made by Timothy Pont in the reign of Charles the first & inserted in Blaeus Atlas Scotia. |

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 and Lammermoor Districts.
It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries & extent of these 3 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, Whiteaddeer, Blackadder, & Eye; & the latter comprehending Lauderale, along with the more eastern hilly country peculiarly called Lammermoor.
According to the general divisions of the county 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 & Mertoun, & forming the largest piece of

Mr Blackadder estimates this division to contain 100.226 acres.
The whole remainder of the County as the exception of the liberties of Berwick is therefore to be considered as forming the Lammermoor district, & according to the same authority should contain 185.214 acres |

The Lammermoors all lie within East Lothian & Berwickshire. Commencing at their extreme Western limit, forming for two-thirds of their extent a Southern screen or belt of uplands to mid-Lothian; and constituting - if the Lammermoor part of Lauderdale be included - nearly one half of Berwickshire. The Lammermoors, are, in themselves, are extensive curvature of, for the most part, wild, cheerless, unsightly heights, nowhere bold and imposing in aspect, and often subsiding into low rolling Table-lands of bleak moor.

" The Roman Camp at Channelkirk appears to have been of considerable extent, and very similar to the Roman Camp at Cleghorn, in Clydesdale - but, as the greatest part of the surrounding ramparts of this Camp has been levelled, its exact dimensions cannot now be ascertained. The West side, & part of the East only remained, in November 1803. The West side exhibits a Gate, which is covered by a Traverse; and at the S. [South] west corner, there is a prodigious redoubt. The area of this Camp is now occupied by the church, church Yard and the Ministers Glebe of Channelkirk, & extends to about 5 acres. Roy's Mil antiq [Military Antiquities] page 61. pl [plate] 6. & M [Military] Survey of Kinghorn".
