028.02 ; 028.05 | A small insignificant stream, rising in the adjoining parish of Stichell in Roxburghshire flows as a drain through the S.W [South West] part of the parish in a NE [North Easterly] direction, in passing South of Hassington village it becomes of more importance and is from here only known by its name, it continues its course South of Hardacres Hill and joins the Lambden Burn near Stoneridge. __ It is said that the slaughter at the battle of Hardacres, was so great that this stream ran for twenty four hours with blood, and from its being in a congealed or lapperd State it was afterwards called Lapperd Burn which has in course of time become changed to Laprig Burn. Another version for the origin of the name is that a man with the name of Lipprick had been drowned in the stream and in consequence of this it has received its name. _ |
