There is no prevailing disease peculiar to the parish, & it is generally healthy, many of its inhabitants attaining to an advanced age. The parish is marked along the banks of the Tweed to the East and westward, by nearly horizontal strata of white micaceous Sandstone, containing impressions of fossil monocotyledonous and apparently dicotyledanous vegetables, which alternate with schistose morls, and dusk coloured impure limestone; towards the western extremity of the parish, a red coloured variety of Sandstone occurs, forming the Continuation of the Strata of a similar rock, which is Quarried in the adjoining Parish of Swinton. |
