| LAMMERMOOR HILLS | Lammermoor Hills |
Revd [Reverend] George Craig Kelso Mr Joseph Patteson Kelso Mr Thomas Hooper Kelso Fullartons Gazeteer |
"A broad range of Moorish heights stretching eastwards from the vale of the Gala Water, in the south east extremity of East Lothian, to the German Ocean at Fast Castle Head Earnsheugh and St Abbs Head". "The Lammermoor Hills all lie within East Lothian & Berwickshire; commencing at their extreme western limits, forming for two thirds of their extent a Southern Screen or belt of uplands to Mid Lothian, constituting, - if the Lammermoor part of Lauderdale be included - nearly one half of Berwickshire. They were at one time clothed with forest and must then have been as bewildering to the traveller as grandly sylvan in their vast contribution to the landscape They still have natural woods hanging on some of their steeps but on their summits and down their higher slopes they are covered with heath" Extracted from Fullartons Gazeteer |
