A little further on, the line enters upon an extensive embankment carrying the rail across a deep valley; it then passes for some distance along the vale of Billy Burn and soon reaches Chirnside Station. Immediately after passing Chirnside the Whiteadder Water is crossed by a fine viaduct of five arches and some distance further on, the line enters a deep excavation nearly a mile in length and, arrives at Edrom Station. About two miles further on it passes along an embankment and enters a deep cutting, which terminates a little below [Manstone?]: where there is a small station, the line then passes almost upon a level to the terminus, which is situated nearly a quarter of a mile south of the town, See P.

Transcriber's notes
In Station the words [Reston Station Ry] & [Reston Railway] have been scored out.In Descriptive remarks for North British Railway the word which I have deciphered as [Manstone] will refer to Manderston.
In Descriptive remarks for Station "eys" is scored out in spelling of "stories", the letter "e" has been erroneously deleted from the word "storey" and presume the "squiggle" following sheds means etc.
