Edrom, A parish in the district of Merse, Berwickshire. In form it presents extreme angles to the north, south, and east, and would be nearly an equilateral triangle, but for having a deep indentation and a small wing on the west, and a less Considerable indentation on the South east. It is bounded on the north by Bunkle; on the northeast by Chirnside and Hutton; on the South-east by Hutton and Whitsome; And on the South-west and west by Fogo, Langton, and Dunse. Its greatest length is 7½ Miles; its greatest breadth 4 Miles; and its Superficial area 13 Square Miles. Except in the north-west divisions where there are inconsiderable rising grounds, the Surface is flat.
Whittadder Water Comes down upon the parish at the north-west angle, and over a distance of Six Miles, forms its northern and north-eastern boundary-line. Blackadder Water Comes in from the south west, forms, for 1½ Mile, the boundary-line with Fogo, and then runs 5 miles north-eastward through Edrom and falls into the Whittadder at the Village of Allantown. Langton-burn, And another brook flowing from the west, unite with the Blackadder, the former drawing, for 2½ miles, the boundary-line with Dunse. Near Langton-burn, on the Edrom side, is a mineral well, called Dunse Spa, which was long celebrated for its reputed medicinal qualities, but has latterly fallen into disrepute, And become quite negelcted. The soil, on a small part of the district, is naturally moorish, but in general is rich and fertile, and, excepting about one-eighth of the Area, tastefully or necessarily devoted to plantations, buildings and roads, is all arable. Pools and lochlets formerly generated marsh and rendered the Climate insalubrious; but they have been Completely drained, to the benefit alike of health and of agricultural produce. On the estate of Kimmergham on the Blackadder is a valuable bed of Shell-Marl, which has Contributed much to the enrichment of neighbouring soils. Sandstone abounds, and is |

It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries & extent of the three divisions, now almost obsolete. For the purposes of agricultural enquiry the whole Coun [Country] may be very Conveniently Considered under two Districts, the "Merse" & "Lammermoor", the former including all the Comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye; and the latter Comprehending Lauderdale along the more eastern hilly Country peculiarly Called Lammermoor -- According to the general divisions of the Countr [Country] just painted out, the Merse designates the lower ground from Tweed up the cultivated slopes of the Southern range of the Lammermoorhills including the western parishes of Nenthorn & Merton & forming the larges [largest] piece of compact level ground - diversified only by a few gentle undulations to be found in Scotland -- Mr. Blackadder estimates this division to Cont [Contain] 100,226 acres -- The whole remainder of the county - with a small exception is therefore to be considered as forming the Lammermoor, & according to th [the] Same authority Contains 185,214 acres |

WHITEADDER WATER |

General usage |
|
A river, or as it is termed water which takes its rise in the Lammermoor Hills, in Haddington shire, at a place Called Whitewell, & flowing in a South Easterly direction, empties itself into the Tweed a little S.W. [South West] of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed -- This river, or water, rises in one of the wildest districts in the South of Scotland, and in its Course passes through varied Scenery - Sometimes through flat Haughs, but generally through places where the Hills Close in. So as to narrow the Valley almost to the Bed of the River ---
At Preston Mill & Haugh, the river escapes from the wild rocky, Mountainous Country, entering the beautiful Valley in which the Tweed runs -- The richest fields succeed the barren waste, Woodlands, orchards and highly Cultivated grounds bespeak wealth & comfort ---
The river itself partakes of the character of the Country, running in gentle streams, over Pebbly beds, alternating with long Reaches of Still water |
