EARLSTON PARISH Continued Continued the country is hilly: nor are any of its hills remarkable save one almost a mile South of the village, which is thought to bear some impressions of having been the site of a Roman encampment, and rises nearly 1000 feet above the level of the sea.
There are two Rivers in the parish, the Eden & the Leader both of which have their Source in the Lammermoor & flow into the Tweed - And though neither of them be remarkable for breadth or depth or extent - Yet the Leader, on account of the beauty of its banks, has been justly celebrated in Scottish Song. Its windings between the hills of Carolside & through the classic grounds of Cowdenknowes till its waters at Drygrange are lost in the principal river of the South of Scotland form part of the scene of uncommon beauty
