This parish which includes from a very early period the ancient parish of Old Cambus, is situated in the district of the Lammermoors in the North East part of the County of Berwick, and may be described as nearly a square of 4 1/2 miles, bounded on the North by the German Ocean, on the South by the Parish of Abbey St Bathans, on the East by the Parish of Coldingham, and on the West by the County of Haddington.
It is stated that the ancient name of this Parish was Coldbrandspath, and that the name was derived from that of a Danish General named Coldbrand (See P.31).
The general aspect of the Parish is varied and uneven, being diversified by hills, and dales, and intersected by occasional deep picturesque ravines, through each of which, a small rivulet flows into the Sea; but though this generally uneven, avery marked distinction in point of scenery is nevertheless apparent, that part of the Parish lying nearest to the Sea being arable, and highly cultivated, while as it recedes from the Coast, it becomes more hilly and is principally adapted for pasture; this latter division may be considered as a continuation of the tract |

tract of country, known by the name of the Lammermoore hills, (which is part of the district of Lammermoor) extending North East , and South West across the Island, and terminating a little beyond the boundaries of this Parish, at the bold promontory of St Abbs Head in the Parish of Coldingham.
There are here also several remarkable valleys or Deans, the principal of which are Dunglass Dean which[h] is partly in Haddington Shire, (see Page 10). The Tower Dean so called from an Old Castle on the edge of it, (see Page 41). Edmond's Dean in the more hilly part of the Parish (see p89) and Pease Dean remarkable for its depth and picturesque Scenery; across which was thrown about 70 years ago the celebrated Pease Bridge; for description of which, see Page 45.-
The Coast of this Parish throughout is bold, Rocky, and steep, especially the Eastern portion of it, where it merges into the hilly ranges already described as terminating in the promontory of St. Abb's Head; along this Coast occur very interesting and striking pieces of Scenery, of these, one of the most picturesque is the Cove, a little Bay surrounded by preci-pices of above 100 feet in height, and which by the building |

building of a Breakwater, has been recently converted into a pretty little harbour, for the protection of fishing boats. See page 17.
There are many other interesting scenes in the neighbourhood, particularly a Cave at Siccar point, which may be almost said to be classic. See page 59.
Many remains of Military Stations are to be seen in different parts of the parish, some of which are evidently British, and others Danish, of the former, a specimen is to be seen on Ewieside Hill (for description see page 89) and of the latter, one a little north of Dunglass Dean. See page 5 for description.
In 1544 the English army under the Earl of Hertford passed through this Parish, in returning from their desolating inroad throughout Scotland,; and in 1584 it formed also the route of a part of the Earl of Somerset's Army, in his memorable expedition.
Near the centre of the Parish stands Cockburnspath Tower (see description page 42) and in that part of the parish formerly called Old Cambus, is the ruins of St Helen's Church which is described in page 49. -

There are very few works published from which information respecting this parish can be gleaned, the New Statistical Account of Scotland, and Fullarton's Gazetteer, afford most; but it is evident from the military remains that their description is scanty.
In this Parish is locally situated a portion of the Parish of Abbey St Bathans. |

[Situation] Situation - On the East side of Dunglass Burn, contiguous to the high water line and between castle Dykes and Burnfoot House
Situated on a small headland overlooking the sea shore, and contiguous to "Kutchers Hole", are the remains of a camp said to be of Danish origin. On the North & East sides it was protected by a steep precipice. On the West by Dunglass Dean, which here is steep and rocky. And on the South by artificial banks of earth and stone, the outline of which can still be distinctly traced, though considerably levelled and defaced by the action of the plough - The road leading from "Kutchers Hole" to the east end of "Dunglass Old Bridge" is said to have been cut through the rock for the means of communication between the Camp and the sea shore. |

[Note added at the bottom] Three years ago when the encampment was broken up for the purpose of converting it into arable land, a great number of human skeletons, many in good preservation, was dug up. The mode of interment had been very simple - four large rough stones serving the purpose of both grave and coffin " Vide New Statistical account of Berwickshire P.303 (Date 1841) |

[Situation] About seventeen chains West of Cove Harbour and about twenty two South of Reed Point another lofty rock bearing, at a short distance so close a resemblance to an ancient tower as to be easily mistaken for such, in ruins, add greatly to the effect of other objects; while the extent of ocean beyond, the vessels of every size entering or leaving the Firth of Forth and the bole headlands along the coast complete a scene of remarkable beauty several natural excavations round this little bay have probably given it the name of the cove. These have partly been taken advantage of to form a range of cellars in the rocks and also a road of about 60 yards in length through one of the rocky sides of the bay affording at high water the only means of access to the shore"

The literal meaning of the word is Cross Rock, Whether the rocks are names so because they cross or counteract the waves in their progress towards the shore, is not certain. |

A broad range of moorish heights stretching eastwards from the vale of Gala Water, on the southeast extremity of Midlothian, to the German Ocean at the promontaries of Fast Castle and St Abb's Head. From the middle of the lofty mountain range, which begins at Cheviot in Northumberland, and, passing into Scotland, runs quite across it to Lochryan - from the most elevated part of it called the Louthers ot the Hartfell Heights at the meeting points of the counties of Dumfries, Lanark and Peebles, a less lofty and a less remarkable range goes off north eastward and rolls accross Peeblesshire to the vale of the Gala, and but for being cloven or ploughed through by this vale, would, under the name of the Lammermoor Hills, be continuous to the Sea. The Lammermoor Hill all lie within East Lothian and Berwickshire. commencing at the extreme western limit forming for two third of their extent a Southern Screen, or belt of uplands to Midlothian and constituting - if the Lammermoor part of Lauderdale be included - nearly one half of Berwickshire The Lammermoors were at one time clothed with forests. They still have natural woods hanging on some of their steeps, but over their summits and down their higher slopes they nakedly dressed in heath. Among some of their remarkable summits are. Lammerlair, Criblaw, Clint Hill Tippet Knowes, Manslaughter Law Twinlaw Hill Earlston-hill and Great Dirrington Law.

[Situation] In the village of Cockburnspath about two and a half chains S.S.E. [South South East] from the Cross and about as many E.S.E. [East South East] from the post office. "The church tho' situated in one corner of the Parish may nevertheless be described as so far convenient that it stands in the most populous part of [it.] It is only about half a mile from the [extremity] of the parish in one direction while in [another] it is fully 4 and 5 miles distant. When the [church] was built I have never been able to discover It is however an ancient structure; - one [of] the stones taken from it at a late repair bearing the date 1163. It remained long [in] a most uncomfortable state, but repairs at [some] times have been made upon it. especially in 180[] when it was newly seated and rendered more comfortable Additional repairs have been obtained since the Statistical account of Berwickshire was written 100 new & [] have been added and the church yard which before was in a most disgraceful state has been well fenced in and made as neat as any churchyard in the county. With the late additional sittings there is accommodation for about 400 people. the seats belong entirely to the heritors." (Extract from [the] statistical account of Berwickshire) Page 313
"The church at Colbrandspath does not appear in the ancient Taxatio as it was perhaps then only a chapel; and it seems, never to have been connected with any religious house"
"The patronage of the church appears to have remained with the lord of the manor until its union with Auldcamus. The territory of Colbrandspath belonged of old to the Earls of Dunbar"

Old Cambus belonged to the monastery of Coldingham, as a cell of Durham the Scottish Edgar having granted to St Cuthbert's monks of Durham, its manor with all the appertaining lands, tolls, Shipwrecks and other customary dues. There was an old church in this parish, (for it was a parish previous to its annexation to that of Cockburnspath) dedicated to St Helen the mother of constantine whose festival was on the 18th of Aug. [August] (For a tradition regarding this church, See New Statistical Acct [Account] of BerwickShire) See, the other Side. |

Chalmers' derivation is undoubtedly the correct one because the Gaelic adjective Ald or mor properly Alld is, invariably, used in deScribing a Barbarous area of people or Beasts of Prey It, never, is applied to an inanimated object, nor to Scenery however bold and rugged. The original Spelling of this name was Aldcamus: |

A Number of small Mounds or hillocks on Penmanshiel Moor and supposed to contain the remains of some ancient Britons, there is no Historical account of them to be had
Note - These tumuli appear to be vestiges of cairns, which, in early times, were usually raised to perpetuate the memory of those who had fallen in domestic conflicts or in repelling the invasions of foreign enemies
