| SWINTON (Parish) | Swinton | Continued | [Continued from Page 1] drained since 1700, the principal stream is the Leet which rises in the neighbouring parish of Whitsome, & passes through Swinton in a Easterly direction, to fall, after a course of ten or eleven miles, into the Tweed at Coldstream. The soil in general is deep & very productive; but as it lies upon a strong impervois clay, it is liable, where drains do not prevent, to be wet or almost miry during long continued rains in Winter, and in dry Summers it has sometimes suffered severely from want of moisture. The whole parish forms part of the new red sandstone formation, which may be traced throughout a Considerable portion of the Merse or lower district of Berwickshire. [Continued on Page 3] |
