| Merse (District) | Continued | and Lammermoor: the former including all the comparatively low level along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder and Eye, and the latter comprehending Cauderdale, along with the more eastern hilly country peculiarly called Lammermoor. According to the general division just printed out, the merse designates the whole lower ground from Tweed, up the cultivated slopier of the lower southern range of the Lammermoor hills, including the western parishes of Nenthorn and Merton, and forming the largest piece of compact level ground diversified only by a few gentle undulations - to be found in Scotland - Mr Blackadder estimates this division to contain 100.226 acres. |
