The parishes of Swinton & Simprin were united by the annexation of Simprin in 1761. The word "Swinton" seems to have undergone no change since the earliest in Scottish history; and like Swine-wood, the ancient name of an adjacent tract of land, it may have been connected with
the prevalence in this district of wild boars, with which the whole of the country is understood to have been formerly infested.
Simprin, there is sufficient evidence, is not a modern name but neither tradition nor any historical notice throw light upon
its etymology. There are a few good springs in the parish. A Loch of Considerable extent, Called Swinton Loch has been [Continued on Page 2] |

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] |

There are about 8 miles of Turnpike
roads in the parish but not travelled
by any public carriages; and there are three Bridges. The roads are excellent, & completely fenced, & the three bridges are in good Condition. From the small extent of the parish, the church, though placed too near to its N.E. [North East] Corner, is quite Convenient for the whole of the Inhabitants. It was built in 1729, an Aisle was added to it by the feuars of
the Village, for their accommodation, in 1782, and is still in tolerable repair. It is seated to accommodate 400 persons, & there are no free sittings. It holds, however, considerably more than that number, & from 50 to 70 persons are regularly supplied with seats in the passage. The Manse was built in 1771, & has been several times [Continued on Page 4] |

The usual branches of education may be obtained at the parochial School; and it may be noticed, that the teacher is Mr. Strahan, the joint editor, with Mr. Dickinson & Dr. [Doctor] Smith, of Sleusnen's Greek Lexicon.

In ancient times the shire of Berwick
seems to have been a Separate
jurisdiction from the Bailliary of
Lauderdale, & to have been itself
divided in the Merse & Lammermoor
Districts. It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries and extent of these three divisions, now almost obsolete. For the purposes of agricultural inquiry, the whole County may be very conveniently considered under two districts, the Merse, and Lammermoor, the former including
all the comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye, and the latter comprehending Lauderdale along with the more eastern hilly Country peculiarly Called Lauderdale. [Continued on Page 8] |

According to the general division of the County just pointed out, the Merse
designates the whole lower ground from Tweed, up the cultivated slopes of the
lower southern range of the Lammermoor hills, including the western parishes of Neuthorn and Merton, & forming the largest piece of compact level ground, diversified only by a few gentle
undulations to be found in Scotland. Mr
Blackadder estimates this division to contain 100.226 acres. |
