NENTHORN (Parish) Nenthorn (Parish) Continued [Continued from Page 6]
The landed proprietors or properties, in the order of their Valuation, are Newton Don, the property of Charles Balfour Esq; Nenthorn, belonging to James Roy Esq; a portion belonging to George Baillie, of Terriswood Esq; another to his Grace the Duke of Roxburghe; and a small part to J. Baird Esq. Stichell. In the south-east angle of the parish is situated the fine mansion of Newton Don, and the extensive & ornamented policy connected with it, commanding one of the loveliest prospects of the Tweed, near to which, the Eden is suddenly precipitated over a ledge of rock, from thirty to forty feet perpendicular. Here are preserved some ancient relics of the Earls of Glencairn, noticed in the early history of the Church, of which noble house Sir William Don is now the representative. The only other mansion in the parish is that of Mr. Roy, Nenthorn, formerly the residence of the Kers of Littledean, a branch of the family of Roxburghe. [Continued on Page 8]
