OS1/5/25/1 HUTTON [parish] Hutton Ph [Parish] Map of Berwickshire New Statistical account of Berwickshire Fullerton's Gazetteer of Scotland 017 ; 018 ; 023 ; 024 Hutton, a parish in the district of Merse at the south-eastern verge of Berwickshire. It is, in a loose sense, of a triangular form, but has so many curves and indentations in its outline, as to be of a very irregular figure. It is bounded on the north by Chirnside, Foulden and Mordington; on the east by Mordington and the Liberties of Berwick; on the south-east by England; on the south-west by Ladykirk; and on the west by Whitesome and Edrom. Measured as a triangle, it extends 4½ miles on the north side, 3½ on the south-east side, and 4¼ on the south-west side. The Whiteadder is its boundary-line over the whole of the north, and 1½ mile at the east, and runs partly between rockey banks of inconsiderable height, and produces a few salmon, and great plenty, as well as great variety of trout. The Tweed rolls its majestic volume of waters, in a beautifully curved line, 3½ or 3¾ miles along its south-eastern boundary, overlooked by gentle undulations of the surface along its banks, yielding large supplies of salmon, whitling, and grilses, and brings up the tide with a sufficient depth of water for wherry navigation. The inequalities of the surface along its banks, and similar inequalities along those of the Whiteadder, possess capabilities with the aid of more plantations than they possess, of producing a picturesque effect; and though rising, in the average to only about 150 feet above sea-level, they beautifully diversify the lucious yet tame plain in the midst of which they rise, and relieve its luxuriant but flat expanse from an aspect of monotony. All the surface of the parish, inland from the rivers, is, with some scarcely noticeable exceptions, nearly a dead level; but everywhere

OS1/5/25/3 RIVER TWEED River Tweed Map of Scotland Map of Berwickshire Fullerton's Gazetteer of Scotland 018 ; 023 The Tweed has its source in a paltry fountain called "Tweed's Well" a little above the farmhouse of "Tweed'shaws" and at the foot of a hill named "Tweed's cross". an the southwest boundary of the Parish of Tweedsmuir. Peebleshire, The well is half a mile from Lanarkshire on the west, the same distance from Dumfriesshire an the south, And 1500 feet above the level of the Sea. From other sides of the hill where it springs up, proceed rills to the gathering or incipient volumes of the Clyde and the Annan, yet not such as can with any justice be pronounced more than secondary head streams of these rivers. Over 22 miles from its source the Tweed runs prevailingly northeastward, and over the remaining 14 miles of the Peeblesshire part of its course in the direction of east by South. During its connexion with Selkirkshire it continues as in the latter part of its course in Peeblesshire, to run prevailingly eastward. till the last 9 or 10 miles, and over these it runs in the direction of North-east by east. In a small part of this ran it divides Selkirkshire from Roxburghshire and in two places it divides Roxburghshire from Berwickshire. After leaving Roxburghshire the Tweed is but partially a Scottish river it divides Berwickshire from England till

OS1/5/25/4 [page] 4 -- Parish of Hutton River Tweed -- River Tweed -- Continued - till within 4 1/2 miles of the sea and then bids adieu to Scotland and runs between England and the Liberties of Berwick. Its course for 4 or 5 miles after leaving Roxburghshire is eastward then changes to North East by North and again to the eastward for about 5 miles to its embouchure into the German Ocean - The Tweed directly or by its tributaries, drains nearly the whole area of the central and eastern Border Counties of Scotland and of the detached districts of Durham and the north corner of Northumberland in England. It usually ranks in importance as the fourth of the Scottish rivers, the Tay, the Forth and the Clyde being respectively pronounced the first second and third. But estimated according to the extent of country which it drains, it far surpasses every Scottish river except the Tay; for while the Spey which this rule places next to it, drains only 1300 square miles and the Clyde which is next to the Spey drains only 1200, the Tweed drains 1870. The Scottish counties with which it has connection are Peebles. Selkirk, Roxburgh Berwick and the southern division of Edinburgh; and excepting a tiny nook of Peebles drain -ed by the head waters of the Mid Lothian Esks, the parish of Castletown, and some very small pendicles of Roxburghshire, and the northeast division or about a fourth of Berwickshire these counties are entirely within its basin
OS1/5/25/5 Parish of Hutton -- [page] 5 River Tweed -- River Tweed -- Continued. In two great head waters, one of which bears the name of Tweed, while the other is throughout called the Lyne, it rises respectively in the Southwest and Northwest extremities of Peeblesshire; by the head streams of the Ettrick, the Yarrow, and the Teviot it drains Selkirkshire from the furthest west; by the Gala, the Leader, the Whitadder and other streams it draws off the waters from the southern acclivities of the Moorfoot and Lammermoor hills, even from a line but 11 or 12 miles south of Edinburgh; and from its remotest source to its influx into the sea at Berwick-Upon-Tweed it performs irrespectively of its windings a run of about 100 Miles, about one third of which is in Peebles-shire and about another third, through or in contact with Roxburghshire. The Tweed and Clyde, for many miles from their sources flow so nearly in one direction, as never to diverge to any great distance from each other, and so long as they continue nearly parallel they flow upon almost the same level and keep on a high table-land of country as if hesitating whether to unite their waters or remain separate, or whether to turn their final course toward the eastern or western ocean. In the vicinity of Biggar, where the Clyde is 7 Miles from the Tweed and 30 from its own source, and flows through a country by no means mountainous, the indigenous waters descend from within half a mile of it to the Tweed; and 10 or 11 miles lower down running in an opposite direction to that long pursued by the two great streams, splits its waters and sends them away in two separate detachments to the Tweed and Clyde. _ Tradition says that in former times before Glasgow had acquire its commercial character a project was conceived of turning the Clyde into the Tweed with the view of rendering the latter navigable to a great distance along the Merse and in favor of such project had it ever been
OS1/5/25/6 [page] 6 -- Parish of Hutton River Tweed (Continued) been attempted there existed the remarkable facilities, that, immediately south of Biggar, a bog extends all the way between the rivers, that its waters flow to the Tweed, and its surface is only a few feet above the level of the Clyde and that abundance of materials are at hand for erecting a dam-dyke. Of the 1,500 feet of the Tweed's total aggregate fall from its source to its embouchure 1.000 are achieved when it reaches the town of Peebles. In the very long run between that town and the sea, therefore the river might be expected to become sluggish in current, and over a considerable distance navigable. But it accomplishes its remaining fall of 500 feet in so many, so far apart, and so comparatively gentle descents as to be altogether a stream of beauty and a stranger to matters of Commerce It abounds in deep pools and in long stretches of scarcely perceptible current yet in almost every sweep of it which can come under the eye in the course of its beautiful bends and sinuosities, it presents one or more soft rapids sometimes of Considerable length, where the surface of the water is carried along with just sufficient speed, to feature it all over with dimples, and ripples, and glassy slides and whirls. The banks of gravel or shingle which form these rapids and in one instance 2 or 3 miles above Kelso a perforated broad wacke dyke quite across its channel render it naturally unfit, and artificially unimproveable for navigation. Yet ferry boats are stations upon it in many locations, and have ample depth of water and small flat boats used in salmon-fishing etc. and provincially called "trows" are freely navigated over the fords. A
OS1/5/25/7 [page] 7 Parish of Hutton River Tweed A few miles from its embouchure, too it loses its prevailing character and becomes capable of admitting small sailing craft The tide flows up to Norham Castle 10 Miles above Berwick; and up to Newwaterford 6 miles above Berwick it has sufficient depth at any time for a vessel of 30 tons burthen. The real navigation of the Tweed however is all confined to Berwick; but as to either capaciousness or depth of sea-room and harbourage afforded to it, might be quite as well accommodated in many a tiny bay or nameless creek in the ruggedly indented parts of the coast of Scotland. As the Tweed while thus undisturbed by traffic is nearly as much untinctured by the liquid outpourings of manufactories, and as it has in general a clean shining many-coloured path of gravel, it almost every where possesses a re- markably limpid and sparkling appearance - such as combined with the majestic mirthfulness of its current and with the prevailing brilliant beauty of its banks, tend to suggest serenely joyous images to a tasteful observer of landscape. The Tweed possesses none of the wild romance, the bold and startling groups of picture, or the impressive and at times awful grandeur of such rivers as the Garry, the Tummel, and the Upper Tay, but in all the properties which gently please, soothingly fascinate, and lusciously excite it is surpassingly rich and not a little various. Till it debouches into the Eden-like vale of Melrose, it is aggregately a pastoral stream; yet has stretches of haugh and arable hanging plain, which look like little pictures within the rough, bold frame-work of the surrounding hills. Its vale for a considerable distance from its commencement is prevailingly Cold naked and narrow, but long before reaching Peebles and at intervals ever after it is occasionally
OS1/5/25/8 [page] 8 Parish of Hutton River Tweed occasionally warmed and embellished with wood and presents charming alter nations of gorge, glen and variously fashioned haughs. Its screens or flanking heights except at large openings where large tributaries bring lateral glens are so closely pressed behind by ?tamering elevations , and so huddled together in their ridgy exten- sions as to command no extensive views. yet by their green soft surfaces, and their finely curved Outlines, in combination with the woods on their skirts, and the cul tivation in the haughs which they enclose, they give in compensation many agreeable close pictures. While it traverses the plain of Melrose it is so overshadowed by orchards and broadly sheeted from the margin with the most ornately cultivated plain And picturesquely screened in the brief distance by the Eildons and Candenknowes and diversified sylvan heights as to seem like a river luxuriating in beauty. From this vale to near the point where it leaves Roxburghshire, it has seldom on its banks any considerable expan- sion of haugh, but is in general shut in by hanging plains and soft rising grounds all green, arable, or wooded allowing very limited views of its channel, but cutting it into a series of delightful scenes and commanding brilliant stretches of dale landscape from the Eildon Hills to the Cheviots. But at Kelso and a little above, where the majestic and richly jewelled river rolls past the termination of the broad gay path of the almost rival Teviot coming down to pay its princely tribute, a scene of blushing and brilliant beauty expands a- round it, on which the imagination lives as if it were a reminiscence of paridise,
OS1/5/25/9 [page] 9 Parish of Hutton River Tweed (Continued) From Roxburghshire, or rather from Kelso to the sea the Tweed is a mag- nificent and imposing stream and uniformly maintains its characteristic transparency and winds in constant bend and tortuosity along its carreer and in a general view moves in a gigantic furrow a lowland glen exuberantly clothed with wood and spreading away in a terrace broad as the Merse and delicately featured with all the properties of a great and highly cultivated plain. The salmon fisheries of the Tweed were formerly of great value but of late years have suffered a great depreciation. The protrusion of the pier of Berwick, the general use of lime in the fields drained into the river, and an undue increase in the number of boats employed in fishing, have all been assigned as causes and severally pro- nounced by competent judges to be either irrelevant or so feeble as to correspond in no considerable degree to the effect. The real cause or at least the prime and most powerful one, appears to be the illegal destruction of fish during the close season in the higher Tweed and its tributaries But the Tweed always has and will bear the character of being one of the best trouting rivers in Scotland.

Just pointed out the Merse designates the lower ground from Tweed up the cultivated slopes of the southern range of the Lammermoor hills including the western parish of Nenthorn and Merton, and forming the longest pieces of Compact level ground diversified only by a few gentle undulations - to be found in Scotland. Mr Blackadder estimated this division to contain 100.226 acres

OS1/5/25/13 HUTTON HALL Hutton Hall Hutton Hall Hutton Hall Leonard Lisle James Grieve Alexander Hume 017.07 Hutton Hall is situated on the south side of the Whiteadder, about six miles above its junction with the Tweed. It is built on the top of a steep bank which is beautifully wooded, between the house and the river stretches a large green "haugh".
OS1/5/25/13 HUTTON CASTLE (Remains of) Hutton Castle (ancient) Hutton Castle (ancient) Hutton Castle (ancient) Leonard Lisle James Grieve Alexander Hume 017.07 Adjoining the present house stands the ancient Castle of Hutton. The house has stile much of the old border aspect and was obviously erected at a period when security from hostile attacks was more looked to than comfort and elegance. The part alluded to is a Square Tower with battlements built in that massive style which was necessary for defence. This is supposed to be an appendage to the ancient castle. The ancient castle of Hutton was destroyed in the year 1497. It was taken and sacked by Earl Surrey who led the English forces against Perkin Warbec According to a date which was recently to be seen above the principal entrance The present house of Hutton Hall was built in 1573. It is in the Elizabethan stile of architecture. The interior is fitted up in a comparative modern style. - From the Humes, Hutton Hall was purchased about the beginning of the seventeenth century by the Johnstons of Hilton whose family seat it was within a few years ago. It is now the property of Mr Mackenzie Grieve, and tenanted by Mr. Leonard Lisle with 65 acres of land, who has divided the Hall into three tenements. It is fast going to decay.

A very substantial and elegant arch of Freestone masonry stands on the Scots side- through which carriages enter upon the platform of the Bridge, which is made of wood plated of Iron - and is connected with the principal chains by upright Iron rods.
