New Statistical Account |
002 ; 004 ; 005 ; 006 ; 011 |
This parish (with the exception of a small detached portion that is locally situated in the parish of Eyemouth) is in the district of Lammermoor in Berwickshire and is one of the largest in the county It is bounded on the north by the German Ocean, on the east by the German Ocean and the parishes of Ayton and Eyemouth, on the south by the parishes of Chirnside and Buncle, and on the west by those of Abbey St Bathans, Old Hamslocks, and Cockburnspath.
The parish takes its name from the village of Cockburnspath - the etymology of which cannot be easily traced. The author of "Caledonia" traces it to cold den and ham, signifying 'The village in the cold vale' The writer of "New Stat. [Statistical] Acct [Account]" traces it to the same roots Others derive it from Col ing & ham - "The village on the cold common". While the author of the "History of Coldingham" supposes it to be a
corruption of Coll-ann & ham i.e. "The village at the gathering or meeting of the waters"
Previous to the Reformation the name Coldingham-shire - Schire or Scire - (which in the Gaelic language signifies a Parish and is spelt Sgire) was applied to a large tract of country contiguous to the parish of Coldingham and comprehending the most part of the parish by which it is, for the most part, very uneven. Several ranges of hills - constituting part of the Lammermoor chain - run through it in a parallel line from west to east, and fall off to the north to form the celebrated promontories of St Abbs and Fast Castle. The principal waters in the parish are Coldingham Loch (Page 47. Bk No 9 and the rivers Ale (P [Page]105 Bk [Book] No2) and Eye (P [Page] 81 Bk [Book] No2)

COLDINGHAM PARISH (Continued) |

|

A considerable portion of the shore, particularly at Coldingham Sands and the Northfield is smooth and easy of access and though nowhere "unbosoming" a harbour, is rife with fishing boats But in the Neighbourhood of St Abbs Head the coast is rocky and dangerous, abounding with natural caves - once the retreat of smugglers which are inaccessible by land and cannot be approached by sea except at low water and in the calmest weather There are numerous remains of antiquity in various parts
of the parish. On St Abb's Head are the remains of St Abb's Nunnery (P76 Bk. [Book] No 1) about a mile farther [west] east on the sea coast are the ruins of St Abb's Kirk (P. 62 Bk. [Book] No 1) St Earns Heugh are the remains of a British camp (see P.42 Bk [Book] No1) and still farther west on the Fast Castle Head are the ruins of Fast Castle (P.17 Bk [Book] No1) At Renton, (P.26 Bk [Book] 3) Houndwood, P.89 Bk [Book] No 2) East Reston (P.48. Bk [Book] No3)) were formerly fortalices belonging to Fast Castle of which no remains are traceable "They were all demolished, for their materials, during the enterprising improvements of the eighteenth century"
About three miles from St Abb's Head is the village of Coldingham (P. 28 Bk [Book] No 2) in which once stood the Priory (see P. 27 Bk [Book] No2)

"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"

On a bold rocky peninsuler cliff on St Abbs Head. the precipitous margins of which appears from remains still visible to have been fortified by a strong stone wall, the foundations of a building of considerable extent are still traceable and said to be the remains of St Abbs Nunnery. In the present day. these remains are known to the inhabitants residing in Coldingham and its vicinity by the name of "Rampart Hall" and the rocky promontory on which it is situated is called the Ramfauds a corruption of Ramparts.
Tradition relates that Ebba daughter of Ethelfred, king of Northumberland was shipwrecked on this coast. and built a Nunnery on this headland in token of gratitude for her preservation_ See Fullarton's Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland. Article St Abb's Head. In Carrs history of the Priory of Coldingham. pp 22 & 23. it is said that "Within that part of Lindesfarne bishopric north side of the Tweed, a double Monastery, for the reception of both Monks and Nuns, was erected by Oswald the reigning Monarch of Northumberland, on a wild headland near Coldingham, which soon afterwards received in honour of its abbess the name of St Abb's Head_" . [? This primitive establishment [f*] [**] [s*] to the fury of those Scandinavian [*] who visited the coast in A.D 870?].
