Greenlaw is Said to have stood originally where the farm onstead of old Greenlaw. is now Situated about a mile from the present town - This is the more likely, as the present town Stands in a Vale on the banks of the Blackadder, whereas old Greenlaw stands upon a round hill, or detached eminence, of which kind there are several in the parish, and which, from their Conical figure, are well known in Scotland by the name of "Laws" -
It is from one of these, which, in the uncultivated state of the Country, was greener than the others, that the town and parish have evidently derived their name -
The parish is between 8 and 9 miles in length from N. W [North West] to S. [South] East, and on an average about 3 miles in breadth, is of the form |

It is wore so in the South there in the N. division of the Parish, where the winds during the spring and autumn months are keen and penetrating.

Across the moor, in the upper part of the parish, runs an irregular gravelly ridge, called the Kaimes. The Kaimes extend upwards of two miles. The ridge is about 50 feet broad at the base, and between 30 & 40 feet in height. The ground on the North side is boggy; and on the South is an extensive moss, called, Dogden Moss.
The Kaimes are evidently a natural production, and in endeavouring to account for their formation, it is to be observed the stones scattered over the fields towards the Tweed, consist principally of greywacke, which must have been detached, & carried thither |
|
|
| OS1/5/23/28 |
|
|
|
|
|
thither from the rocks of Lammermoor hills by the agency of a current of water setting in from the North towards the South; and as the Kaims are composed of similar materials reduced to a moderate size, its formation is to be ascribed to the same cause. It is generally allowed that mosses are produced from decayed vegetable matter such as wood, furze, ferns &c. Now, if it be admitted that Dogden Moss was at one time an extensive wood, the waters subsiding at the universal deluge, or some more partial inundation, & rushing with great impetuosity from the Dirrington Laws, which are about two miles N. West from the Kaimes, would carry with them all the wood & underwood, to a considerable distance, till the collected materials would form |

a kind of dam or weir, through which the waters could not penetrate, and would force up against this dam or weir - the gravel and sand which form the ridge - in the same manner as is frequently done by rivers in certain part of their courses during great floods. The materials of which the ridge is composed, and its shape, which is somewhat like a horse-shoe with the hollow towards the hills favor this explanation" - New Statistical Account P. 41 & 42
"There is a remain of a somewhat different kind, which is situated within two miles of Wedderlea; and which the tradition of the country calls the Caims. It consists of an immense ridge of sand, between two extensive mosses; Its breadth is from 20 to 100 feet; its height from 14 to 40 feet: and it runs out the length of three quarters of a mile. There is no such sand as this, within many miles of this remain, which seems, to a willing eye, to be the production of art, rather than the work of nature - The Reverend Dr Hewat's letter to me dated 18th October 1791. |

See Dogden Moss, upon Armstrangs Map of Berwick, wherein this singular ridge of strikingly represented. The name Kaims or Caims, implies, that it is a ridge, which this appellation signifies. Yet, Mr Spottiswoode of Spottiwoode, in that neighbourhood, has informed me, that being employed as a Trustee, in executing a Turnpike law road, he had ordered the Kaims to be bored, in sea of gravel, or other materials for the New road but found none: and he was convinced, from what he saw, that this singular ridge is the work of nature & not of art."

The following is an answer from David Milne Home, Milne Graden, Esq[uire] to a letter addressed him by Captain Burnaby R.E. respecting the "Kaims".
Milne Graden
Coldstream 27th November 1857.
My dear Sir,
Absence in East Lothian has prevented me replying to your note of the 21st Instant asking my opinion of the nature and construction of the Kaims in Greenlaw Parish.
Being much puzzled how to account for them, I took the late Dr Buckland and the present Professor Sedgwick to see them, the one Professor of Geology at Oxford, the other from Cambridge.
The former expressed to me his belief that they are the terminal moraines of a Glacier which descended from the hills to the North,- |
|
| OS1/5/23/31B |
|
|
|
|
|
the latter, after spending several hours with me on the spot, confessed that he could form no opinion.
Professor Forbes of Edinburgh, who has studied Glacier Phenomen in Switzerland & Norway, and who is an excellent observor, also confesses himself unable to solve the problem.
It may seem therefore presumptuous in me to offer any explanation, I may however, in compliance with your request, mention that two theories have occurred to me.
1st These Kaims are composed of diluvial debris, viz. rounded stones, gravel, clay and sand; which deposits also cover the adjoining districts. In most part of the Kaims, there are small rivulets, on each side of them, which may have scooped and washed away the debris, |
|
| OS1/5/23/31C |
|
|
|
|
|
so as to leave the ridge between these rivulets.
This was my earliest impression - though I have little reliance on it now.
2nd There are off the East and South coasts of England, sub-marine ridges or banks of sand & gravel very much resembling the Kaims in length and height. off Garmouth & off Portland, there are many such - being formed by a peculiar action of the tides & currents & breakers.
To a similar cause, when the greater part of our Island was under the sea, the formation of the Kaims may be owing.
This is the theory which appears to me most probable, and which I believe is more fully explained by me in my Geological account |
|
| OS1/5/23/31D |
|
|
|
|
|
of Roxburghshire.
It would be desirable to perforate the Kaims at different places, so as to ascertain their structure more exactly, and which I presume your people could easily accomplish.
I remain
my dear Sir

Chartulary of Dryburgh Abbey. |

The site of this Chapel is supposed to be a short distance East from the present farmhouse of Haliburton in a field, called the "priest field"adjoining the Parish road which intersects the former burial ground. _ There are no vestiges whatever of this building remaining, save some stones, which can still be identified, and have been used in the wall enclosing the above mentioned Park. It was erected about the beginning of the 12th. Century and given by the sons of Truite of Haliburton to the Abbey of Kelso in 1140. for which they received a grant from Herbert, then the first Abbot, who dedicated it to St. [Saint] Mary. This Chapel shared the fate with all the other ecclesiastical property in Scotland, which was seized by the English, but Edward I on receiving the homage of the Abbot of Kelso in Berwick on the 2d Septbr.1296 [2nd September 1296] restored to him all their property. In the chartulary of the Abbey of Kelso p: 250 [page 250] it is also mentioned that about the year 1316. William, the Abbot of Dryburgh was a witness to a grant by William de Lamberton Bishop of St. [Saint] Andrews to Kelso, of the Church of Greenlaw with its chapels "in proprius usus", which are those of Lambden and Haliburton. __ It was destroyed during the time of the Earl of Hertford's raid in 1545. __ |

This name is applied to an entrenchment or Earthen mound, with a ditch towards the side of the river, commencing opposit the Camp called "Blackcastle Rings, where it encloses the remains of a tumulus, and extending along the South side of the Blackadder on the high banks of Greenlaw Dean, showing in its course the site of a Circular station or small camp. A second ditch, apparently in connection with the above, crosses Corbieheugh Quarry, where, in removing the turf Several years ago, a number of Gold and Silver Coins of the reign of Edward III were discovered. Thus far, the feature is but little visible; the part which turns from here in a SSE. [South South Easterly] direction towards Hume Castle, has entirely disappeared through the action of the plough and can only be observed when under a crop of corn, but has been pointed out by those, who have frequently seen it under such a favourable circumstance
It is supposed that this entrenchment has been constructed by the Saxon, who held possession of this part of Scotland for nearly five centuries and who were first called upon to assist the Britons in |

their warfare against the Scots and Pits. When Hongist and Horsa perceived the facility with which they could subdue the Britons, they wrote to Germany, upon this Ida a Saxon Prince arrived in the year 547 in Northumbria with his army and took after some resistance possession of it and the lowlands of Berwickshire. These "Black Dikes" are supposed to [have] been at one time part of the boundary of [?] possession or outer line of defence. The [?Saxons] appear to have first penetrated as far as [the] Banks of the Whiteadder where a fortified [?] has been observed and after some time ex[tended] their possession to the South Bank of the [Black] adder, where the Black Dikes indicate an[other]defence and finally they made their way[? as far] as Galashields and Jedburgh, where a simi [lar] entrenchment called "Catzail" forms th [e] [? third] of the three successive features. |

This Chapel erected about the end of the 11th Century was presented to the monks of Kelso by John de Striveling in 1142. It was like the Chapel of Haliburton dedicated to St. Mary, seized by Edward I and restored to them after the Abbot of Kelso as well as the Abbot of Dryburgh had sworn fealty to King Edward at Berwick in 1296. It was destroyed during the descent of the Earl of Hertford in 1545 and not a single trace of this building is remaining. It was situated in front of the present farmhouse of Lambden, and surrounded by a Churchyard, which is now cultivated, where about 40 years ago, in levelling the ground, a number of stones with inscriptions (only here and there legible) have been found.__
