005 | Lammermoor Hills, A broad range of moorish heights, Stretching eastwards from the Vale of Gala Water, in the S. [South] eastern extremity of Midlothian, to the German ocean, at the promontories of Fast Castle, Earnscleugh & St. Abbs Head, in the parish of Coldingham, Berwickshire. The Lammermoors all lie within East Lothian & Berwickshire, Commencing at their extreme western limit, forming, for two thirds of their extent, a Southern screen, or belt of uplands to Mid Lothian & constituting - if the Lammermoor part of Lauderdale be included - nearly half of Berwickshire. The Lammermoors are, in themselves, an extensive Curvature of, for the most part, wild, cheerless, unsightly heights - nowhere bold and imposing in aspect, and often Subsiding into low rolling table lands of bleak moor. They were at one time clothed with Forest, and must have been as bewildering to the traveller as grandly Sylvan, in their vast contribution to the Landscape. [Continued on page 11] |
