LAMMERMOOR HILLS |
Lammermoor Hills |

New Statistical Account. Ber: [Berwickshire]
Map of Berwickshire |
004 |
A broad range of Moorish heights,
stretching eastwards from the Vale of
Galla Water in the S. [South] East extremity of Mid-Lothian, to the German Ocean atthe promontories of Fast Castle, Ernscleugh & 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 Lauder be included - nearly one half of Berwickshire. The range forms with the Loftier & commanding chain of the Cheviots & the Lauthens, whence it diverges, the Vast triangular basin of the Tweed. The Lammermoors are, in themselves, an extensive Carriture of, for the most part, wild, cheerless, unsightly heights, nowhere bold & imposing in aspect, and often subsiding into low eroding table lands, of bleak moor. They were at one time Clothed with forest, & must then have been as bewildering to the traveller as grandly
sylvan in their vast Contribution to the landscape. They still have natural woods hanging on some of their Steeps and, in such localities are warmed out of their chilliness of aspect; but over their summits, & down their slopes, they are almost everywhere nakedly dressed in heath. "Lammerlaw", which rises in the parish of Lauder, and gives name to the whole range, has an altitude of 1500 feet, Criblaw 1615, Clinthill 1544, Tippet Knowes 1323, Manslaughter-law 1273, Twinlawshill 1260, Earlstonhill 1200, Great Dirrington Law 1145, Ayrhousehill 1054, Bemerside hill 1011, and Cockburnlaw 912 feet.

In ancient times the shire of Berwick seems to have been a separate jurisdiction from the bailliary of Lauderdale, & to have been divided into the Merse and Lammermoor Districts. It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries of these 3 divisions, now almost almost obsolete. For the purpose of agricultural inquiry, the whole County may be considered under two districts, - the "Merse" and "Lammermoor"- the former including all the Comparative low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye; & the latter Comprehending Lauderdale, along with the more eastern hilly country pecuriarly Called Lammermoor.

"There appears to have been here, in early times, an establishment of the Culdees and Kilspindie, the place of their Settlement. near the Village of Aberlady, in the N.W. [North West] is supposed to have derived its name from the Culdees; Cil-ys-pen-du Signifying, in the British speech. the Cell of the blackheads, and, the word is pronounced Kilyspendy. The cell. of the Culdees, near Aberlady, was, no doubt, connected with the Culdee Monastery of Dunkeld, when David I established the Bishoprick of Dunkeld be Conferred on the Bishop of this Diocese.

Appears to have existed in the Reign of Mary Queen of Scots, being subject or Vassal to Edinburgh Castle.
Its history is rather obscure but the British derivation Signifies the reign of the Black Heads or Hoods.
Again it is said to have been connected with Some Monastic Establishment, this is very probable as it existed in the above Reign. |
